Hi guys, this is Natalie aka Neon Voltz and welcome to my blog! What does a violinist actually do every day? I always tell people I’m busy “working”, but what does that actually mean? A lot of people have asked me these questions, so here’s an example of a typical “rehearsal week” for me when I don’t “Work outside of Work” and not socialising! If you’re looking for methods to improve your productivity as well as enhancing your scheduling and diary management skills, then this video could be useful.
So make yourself a cup of tea, sit back and take note of how this once very disorganised individual tries to stick to a routine (and manage their stuff in general) to live their best life.

If you follow me on my Instagram, Soundcloud and Mixcloud pages you should know that I am a drum and bass and party DJ but I am also in full time employment, enrolled onto a part time course and also keep on top of blogging, recordin, editting & practising in my “spare time”. If, like me, outside of work you pursue a passion project or if you are planning to take your side hustle more seriously (legitimate means only – there are zero tips for anything illicit or suspect) I’m going to suggest a few strategies to put in place in order to effectively manage your time, plan ahead so you know what you are going to do and when you are going to do it as well as knowing how you can prioritise tasks in order to develop ways to become more efficient with your projects, tasks and/or errands and counter procrastination.

➤ Using the POMODORO TECHNIQUE developed by Francesco Cirillo
Saved the best to last… Ever get those moments when you’re feeling lazy and just want to scroll through Instagram Reels so you can Learn from Khaby for a few more minutes rather than take ANOTHER work call?
Has your passion project inadvertently left you feeling demoralised because it threatens to deplete the last ounce of energy from you? (NOT a hint…)
Still hesitating? Reading Hello magazine? Or looking through your smartphone? Or scrolling through Snapchat? Are you looking for an excuse to start messaging on Facebook chat instead of working?
Right this very second – swiftly implement and utilise the Pomodoro Technique – one of the most useful tools in my anti-procrastination armoury. Find this video here for more info.
