The idea of identifying only the critical pieces really resonated with me. I’ve wasted a lot of time trying to study everything at once instead of just learning what supports the piece I’m actually working on. Recently I’ve been keeping things narrower with one subject, one lighting setup and one finished study. I’m improving faster because of it with a simpler process and better results. These ideas here really do work! Thank you Idris Elijah and Happy Friday to you!
Love hearing all of this!! A narrower focus is always ideal. I used to feel stuck simply because the task at hand felt so big. But making small moves is where the magic happens. You understand that! Way to go!! 🤗🤗🤗
I think my biggest issue has been making everything too big in my head. This newsletter made me realize I don’t actually need a massive plan to get moving. One output. One loop. One thing finished. That feels a lot less intimidating than trying to master something before I even begin. I’ve noticed that even writing one finished page teaches me more than hours of passive study. Thank you Idris Elijah for the inspiring read and have a great weekend!
Love the value you got from this issue. You definitely don’t need a massive plan. One output. One loop. One thing finished. That’s where the magic is at. Hope you had a wonderful weekend!! 🤩🤓🤩
This is probably the clearest you’ve explained the process so far. I like that it strips away the feeling that learning has to be complicated. The “learn → apply → test” loop especially stood out because that’s where I usually lose momentum. I stay in intake mode too long. Framing everything around one concrete output makes the whole process feel a lot more manageable and real. This has been a really insightful series Idris, thank you and Happy Friday!
I like how simple this makes things feel. My daughter and I used to overwhelm ourselves trying to learn full routines all at once. Now we focus on one section, practice it immediately, then build from there. It’s slower in the moment but we actually remember it and feel more confident each week. Much of this progress is thanks to your newsletters and ebook! Thank you Idris Elijah and Happy Friday to you!
This is basically the workflow I’ve been missing. I used to spend hours watching breakdowns or collecting plugins and never actually finish tracks. Lately I’ve been trying smaller loops. Build drums, add bass and test a melody immediately. Even rough 30-second ideas teach me more than another tutorial binge. That “learn → apply → test” cycle is where things finally start sticking. Thank you Idris Elijah for sharing these useful ideas and enjoy your weekend!
