Productivity

Dedicated to my new playlist of relaxation.

I think this week marks the most productive and satisfying week of my life:

• Successfully finished two news stories.
• Wrote a paper for Mass Comm.
• Been present and focused at every choir rehearsal this week (We had extra rehearsals due to two performances his weekend).
• Improved my voice.
• Had a very effective blogging week.
• Reunited with a seldom seen friend.
• Released toxins via exercising.
• Relaxed.
• Listened.

I rarely consider myself a productive person because I seldom complete my “To Do” lists each day. However, this week I decided to listen to what was around me rather than write every task down. I’ve been much happier with myself.

I saw my choir director at Einstien’s Bagels on Monday and he said, “It’s going to be a busy week.” I agreed and joked about my stress. That moment was what I needed, a joke. That lightness controlled my spirit of the week.

On Wednesday night, I came home after a three hour rehearsal expecting to fall asleep willingly. I ended up dancing in my room for about two hours to John Legend and other R&B songs. That workout was needed. Soon I was doing Taebo-esque kicks and punches between a hardcore abdominal workout. Exercising always brightens my day. That extra beat helps too.

Music strengthened me throughout this week. Gracias, mi amor.

What did music do for you this week?
