I feel the same way.  WB forces me to work under pressure, or learn to let go of the outcome, or some combination of the two!

its okay to have good weeks and bad. I know further down the line that I'll have weeks where I've got tons of other stuff to do (eg holidays!) or that not every track will be exactly what I want (there have already been a couple where I'm like "WHY?"), but the important thing is to stay on the ride. This has already been overwhelmingly positive.

are you trying to listen to every single track?

Yeah - it's starting to interfere with life / health a bit.  A lot actually!  I just havn't had the hours recently.    I got mine done last night because Sunday wasn't an option.  I'm helping run an event today - but because I  was up until 3am - now I've slept in 3 hours with 4 missed calls.  I already ditched my mates music recital last night.  The idea was to make something "fast" but then I got into the track and my quality control kicked in. "Nothing else matters!"... and 8 hours disappeared.  That's the problem : not wanting to compromise the track in situations where missing sleep is the other option.  I'm glad I stayed up and made something I'm proud of, but yeah, letting down family / friends / work as a result.  Is anyone else having these issues?!

i do give every track a chance, but due to the sheer volume of tracks if it doesn't grab my ear right away i will skip to next track

Always seem strapped for time, exhausted at the end of each working day (Physically and Mentally, there's no quality coming out of a exhausted me)

Usually I'm a complete write off on Monday morning (for when I do 'the lets get up really early to make something', or go straight though till morning to finish something)
Tonight's mode looks like it will be "ok, I've got all night till I fall asleep to make something" Which is once I get back (around 1am)

I've been really busy with work stuff or assisting with different festivals/music events/ etc.

Even right now, I would LOVE to spend some studio time indoors but I'm just about to head away from my home studio yet again cuz prior commitment.
(Come to an Illegal(?) (probably) park party if you like )

The only time i'm finding to work on stuff is a train trip/ a bus trip. etc. <-- these have literally been the best 10/15 minutes at a time that I can do stuff in.

When the time comes around where I actually have time on my hands (A weekend when there's nothing on!)
I hope i'm not just gonna fall asleep..

I Hope to sit down next weekend and hopefully be in a better position to work on some ideas rather than a survival mode track..

I remember earlier this year were I would start my tracks on Wednesday, and finish them Sunday night (complete with video!) --- I wanna be back there again

Though, on the plus side. I've learned not to be precious over it all, and If It's a quick jam that makes it to the week, that's all that matters

all's good here! my challenge in WB has been not to write a song in a week, that's not too challenging honestly... but to have my life together enough, with food and a roof over my head, a place to work, and the inspiration to make something; that's more of the struggle i find myself facing.

things have been good so far, definitely have some rough times ahead but i am confident that, as always, music will pull me through it.

also just ordered a new mixer so i am stoked to incorporate that! (DDM4000)
