As a musician or worship leader, during the week you probably take time to review the upcoming songs and diligently practice, right? Sometimes that doesn’t happen until the night before! : )

 

During practice I sometimes find myself in the middle of some spontaneous worship-writing-composing-thingy on the guitar, and maybe even some lyrics to go with it, especially if I’m using a partial "cut" capo, but that’s another post.

 

In keeping with priorities, I stop and focus on the original goal, and continue reviewing the upcoming set list – hopefully, not before recording my rabbit trail though. Most of the time I forget the musical idea by the time I get back to it. However, in those times that I stop and record the idea, I run into this mental block of sorts whenever I return to work on it. Like everyone, we all work within time constraints. When I finally find some time – or make time – to work on it, sometimes it’s just difficult to get back into the zone so to speak.
