Making music around a busy life
Like many of you, I live in a very busy universe. Mine has a day job where I'm a suit, a small business that my wife and I manage, social commitments, physical exercise, downtime, quality time... I find that music time comes in blocks, typically - I'll be super-inspired to pick up the guitar every night for a week of evenings, or to work on a track or three on serial Sundays. Then life encroaches and I find myself noodling every couple of weeks instead of constantly.
What's the trick to finding inspiration when your life is conspiring to leave you without music time? I've noticed that having tools with a low entry barrier has helped - I've dramatically changed my studio in the last three months to help with this - I can get building a beat or designing a sound almost anywhere with my notebook now, but I'm still not in music-making Nirvana.
I know there's a trick, I just haven't found it yet. I strongly suspect it is a very personal thing, but just in case, share your tips for finding the time, no matter what. Preferably without costing me my marriage...
