Many times, you may have said to yourself, “I am going to practice every day from now on.” However, after an hour or so, you feel like you haven’t accomplished much. Maybe you manage to keep up for two days, but on the third day, something comes up, and for whatever reason, you miss your practice session. What should you do?
Suddenly, the world of practice doesn’t seem so exciting. It starts to feel like work and drudgery. The motivation that initially drove you to make that resolution seems to have disappeared.
This is a common occurrence in all fields and aspects of life. Whether it’s diet, exercise, writing, painting, or practicing an instrument, maintaining initiative requires a different kind of effort compared to simply showing up for work or school. This is especially true if you’re not a professional in those fields and, like work, you have to do it all day long.
Here are three ways to keep your interest in practicing guitar:

Wireless speakers may not be at the cutting edge of technology as they were not too long ago, but they still remain popular. The good news is that the price of high-quality wireless speakers has become more affordable for many people. However, technology continues to advance rapidly, and it’s nearly impossible to stay on the forefront for more than six months before something new comes out.
Therefore, I have made a deliberate decision to no longer strive to be at the forefront of technology. Being just twelve months behind is sufficient for me nowadays. This choice can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars. I’m sure you’re already aware of how much products like computers, particularly laptops, and plasma TV screens have dropped in price in recent times.

They are especially useful in a home theater setup, where people may not be able to see the cables in the dark and might trip over them.
The reason why the cost of wireless speakers has … ...Read the rest.

Being an actor is not an easy profession. I understand the challenges it entails, or else I would pursue it myself. As a director, I mostly stay behind the camera, but I try to imagine what it’s like to be an actor. I have great respect for those who put themselves in front of the camera and face all the vulnerabilities that come with it.
One of my least favorite things to hear from an actor is, “What is my motivation?” When an actor asks me this, it feels like they haven’t done their research.

Skilled and experienced actors know how to do this. That’s also why actors can make fantastic screenwriters. Analyzing the script is part of your job as an actor. You should understand not only your character’s arc but also the arcs of all the other characters. Additionally, you need to grasp every scene in relation to the overall story and premise.
Another issue I frequently encounter with actors is their inability to … ...Read the rest.
