The GTD weekly review is a great habit. Almost everywhere I read about its importance. Also the struggles some have. A recent lecture at school helped me understand why I struggle and how I learn.
Learning new habits
A habit is something we all have plenty of. Learning a new one takes time. Children are quick to learn but like me need time to make it their own. It takes something like 4 weeks to aquire a habit.Every day diligent repetition of a task helps make that a habit. It takes a year to make a habit part of me. A skill. Longer still until that habit reaches perfection.
Music lessons and GTD
My children each play their own instrument. Charlotte the violin, Judit cello and Thomas piano. The daily rhythm of playing is important to establish. Weekly lessons support the practicing habit.
Orchestra rehersals and regular concerts bring joy to music. And the christmas street concerts are not only great fun, but raise extra pocket money too.
Goals and projects
"I want to play every weekend at the Market!" What do you need to do to get there? When can you play? How many songs do you know? Which are fitting for Christmas? Which piece are you going to learn next?
Focusing on these goals means we often forget that we are learning about habits. Its just about having fun!
