Work Tasks

Date	Task Description	Time Spent	Was / Were your choices and work Best Practices? Why?
10/30	We watched the studio tour.	1 hour	N/A
10/31	I worked on my Smart Goal.	~30 minutes	Maybe. I learned the notes to the song pretty fast, so I tried CI by playing without looking. It went pretty decently.
11/1	I worked on my Smart Goal some more.	10 minutes	I was a bit slower today, but I think I’m getting better. I have a bad habit of using a metronome and then completely ignoring it while I play, which I should learn to not do in the future.
11/2	I worked on my Smart Goal for a bit. Then I tried working on an original song.	~8 minutes ~15 minutes	My Smart Goal’s going pretty well, considering how much time I’ve actually spent with it. The song, not so much. I think I’ve kind of run myself dry on original ideas, haha.
11/3	I worked on my Smart Goal. Then I worked on another original idea.	~10 minutes	It went well, but I think I could do better with articulating notes — they kind of blend into each other with how fast I try to play. The Rickenbacker is pretty cool, though! I liked what I had going here much better than yesterday. I thought of a drum beat that’s in 6/8, and I worked from there to make a bassline that fits with it. It’s not done, but I’m liking it so far.
