Introduction
Working productively can be a struggle and just when you think you have everything worked out, things shift or you let good habits slide and your productivity starts to wane. I’m trying very hard to stay on track with my own productivity and in this episode I share 7 things that are working for me at the moment.
It’s not the first time I’ve shared productivity tips on this podcast. You can find links below to 3 other episodes that cover productivity tips, plus a couple of useful blog posts by guest writers.

- Time blocking: I found this video very useful and use this approach almost every day. Like Kallie shows in the video, I handwrite my master list and time blocking schedule into a spiral notebook (the non-tech method works well for my brain!)

Looking for More Resources for Music Teachers?
Hello! I’m Katie Argyle – an Australian music technology trainer and consultant with a passion for helping music teachers through my business Midnight Music.
I’m a qualified teacher but no, I don’t currently teach in a school. I help teachers through my online professional development space – the Midnight Music Community – where there are tutorial videos, courses, links and downloadable resources.

I like to focus on easy ways to incorporate technology into what you are already doing in your music curriculum through a range of creative projects. I also run live workshops and have presented at countless conferences and other music education events.
If you want simple, effective ideas for using technology in music education, I would LOVE to help you inside the Midnight Music Community.
