In the era of all-you-can-eat enlightenment, where the sum of all knowledge is always at our fingertips, it's easy to fall into the trap of becoming perpetual learners. <ul><li>Is the relentless pursuit of information leading us towards our goal of actually being better? </li><li>Or is it just a cleverly disguised form of procrastination?</li></ul>

The Addiction To Consumption 🚬

The Endless cycle of learning without Application.It feels safer to say “I'm still learning”, than to face the vulnerability of creating & sharing the finished task. Learning is incredibly comfortable, but growth happens when we step outside of that comfort zone.

Common trap? 🔁

"The bridge between knowledge & skills is in application."

The (Most Common) Lost Gap

1) Focus on learning for a purpose by setting specific & achievable goals, instead of aimlessly learning in a vacuum. Pick a project, that you'd like to finish & learn only what's necessary to complete it. 2) It's beneficial to limit information intake. Try imposing a limit on your research time each week. For every hour spent in learning perhaps dedicate two to application. 3) Share your work. Be brave & decide that a task is finished. By getting into the habit of declaring something finished & then moving on, you develop the embodied awareness of what it feels like to let go of a creation.

How to Shift from Passive Learning to Active Application? 

Feedback, whether positive or negative is a really powerful tool for growth.

Feedback 

Endless tweaking serves only as a tool to feel more lost & less empowered. It's time to shift from being a consumer of information to a creator of experiences.

We often get caught up in the illusion that learning more will make us better. Education indeed is invaluable, it's not the amount of information that matters, but what we do with it. It's like preparing for a marathon by reading about running shoes. Helpful-sure, but not enough to get you across the finish line.

Is It Better To Learn More?

In tonight's video, I discuss the trap of constant learning without application, a common obstacle for many music producers. The discussion emphasizes the need for the immediate application of knowledge, setting specific goals, and limiting the intake of information. The video also emphasizes the importance of sharing finished work for feedback and growth, declaring that the world doesn't just need more knowledgeable music producers, but those who actively use their knowledge to create and share their unique sound.

British by passport, but not by heart, TÂCHES grew up within the romanticised confines of the Balearic island, Mallorca. The romantic, melancholic voice of TÂCHES can be heard through his alluring productions and storytelling DJ sets. Managing to straddle both sides of the dance-feel spectrum, his productions combine hypnotising rhythms with emotive and ethereal explorations in melody. Refusing to define his music by ‘genre’, he instead aims to elicit a specific feeling - constantly maintaining a notably strong personal style, despite experimenting and evolving himself with each release.
