Yes, sometimes it’s boring, sometimes it’s not fun — but it works.

If you truly want results, you’ll do what needs to be done.

Here’s a bit of context for what comes next: the main idea is to build a fertile creative environment around yourself. You should always have a bunch of ideas on hand — this is the raw material from which something new and unique will emerge.

Without that “stockpile,” it’s hard to create anything when staring at a blank project.

Write Down Your Ideas

Keep a dedicated page in Notion or a physical notebook: track thoughts, track concepts, and interesting discoveries.

Even humming a melody into your voice notes can be a great starting point.

Watch Tutorials the Right Way

Just watching videos isn’t enough — you won’t learn much that way.

Apply what you’ve just seen right away — hands-on practice will reinforce the material and might even spark inspiration for your next track.

Write down any new techniques you learn, because — like everyone — you tend to forget. And if you forget, you’ll never actually use those cool tricks.

Collect References

Make a playlist of tracks that inspire you. If you want to write similar music — study it.

Break down the songs directly in your DAW, use analyzers, notice clever arrangement moves, and try to figure out how specific sounds were created.

Organize Your Sample Library

Structured folders = faster workflow.
