There never seems to be enough time to do the things we need to do. And it's the same thing every day; every week! We're living in a culture where you need to accomplish more and more stuff just to keep in step with what everyone else is doing -- you don't have time to stop or you'll get further and further behind. You'll rarely hear someone say, "I wish I didn't have so much time to get my stuff done."
Seven days a week has been the standard of timekeeping for thousands of years, so I don't think there's much hope in getting an eighth day added to the calendar. But here's how you can build some extra time into your week -- are you ready? Self-discipline. That's the secret weapon. Self-discipline will get you out of bed a half-hour earlier. Self-discipline will keep you from waiting til the last minute to learn your parts in a couple of new songs. Self-discipline will help you create routines to make sure you remember the little things (charge your wireless; bring extra batteries; make a setlist...). There are tons of other ways to build more time into your schedule. Time blocking. Prioritizing. Weekly planning. Even increasing your physical activity can help speed up your metabolism and give you more energy. But it all starts with self-discipline -- that's how you can start adding that eighth day to your calendar!
