01
DJ fundamentals
Transitions, phrasing, Rekordbox preparation, loops, techniques, and set structure.
TARGET 2 practice sessions / week
GOAL 04 · DJ & PRODUCTION
Become the
artist.
Become a capable electronic-music DJ and producer by building DJ fundamentals, learning production from zero, gradually performing for others, and eventually creating your own music.
BUILDING
WEEKLY ENGINE0 / 4core weekly checks
CURRENT PHASE01foundation · Sep–Oct
DJ PRACTICE2 × 1 HRweekly foundation
PRODUCTION LEARNING2 HR+weekly foundation
THE PLAN
Learn first. Then build.
The first 2–3 months are deliberately learning-heavy. Production output grows later as the fundamentals become comfortable.
PHASE 01
02
Music study
Research one useful skill or question and apply one thing from it.
TARGET 30 min / week
03
Listen like a DJ
Study one new live set each week for structure, energy, transitions, and ideas.
TARGET 1 live set / week
04
Production fundamentals
Learn the DAW, basic sound design, drums, arrangement, and the vocabulary of production.
TARGET 2 hr+ / week
05
Experiment
Test mashup and remix ideas as learning exercises without requiring finished songs.
RULE learn → try → reflect
06
Perform later
Build toward confident 60-minute sets, friends/parties, public opportunities, and a real booking.
OUTCOME skill becomes real
THE YEAR
Four phases, one progression.
PHASE 01
SEP · OCTFoundation
DJ fundamentals + production fundamentals. Learn the tools and establish the weekly habit.
PHASE 02
NOV · JANBuild
Stronger sets, mashups, and first remix experiments as production becomes more comfortable.
PHASE 03
FEB · MAYPerform
Build and record 30–60 minute sets, critique them, and perform for friends or at parties.
PHASE 04
JUN · SEPStep out
Pursue legitimate public opportunities and finish 1–2 original songs. Release is optional for the base year.
WEEKLY REVIEW
Did I move forward?
Keep it light. Four checks are enough to know whether the system moved this week.
PRODUCTION LEARNING
Learn the tools.
For the first 2–3 months, measure production by what you understand and can try—not by how much you finish.
MILESTONES
Evidence the skill is becoming real.
THE PRINCIPLE
Build skill. Make music. Then perform it.
Personal progression is the measure. The milestones are evidence that the skill is becoming real.
4 IN 21
Four goals.
One year.
A personal operating system for keeping the year focused, seeing the important signals quickly, and putting effort where it matters most.

A small running list for the things around the goals that you don't want to forget.

Four is enough.
The year is intentionally focused: engineering, health, investing, and music.
GOAL 02 · BODY & HEALTH
Build a lean, strong,
and healthy body.
By August 27, 2027 — build a visibly leaner, more muscular physique while staying roughly around 155–160 lbs, become comfortable running 2–3 miles, improve sleep, recovery and posture, and build a fitness system that survives the school year.

THE STORY
A new week starts at zero.
Log the week and this becomes a quick visual read of training, cardio, posture, water and recovery.
WEEKLY OPERATING SYSTEM
Four is the foundation. Five is earned.
Training adapts to school, soccer, recovery, and real life. The goal is sustainable improvement, not an unbroken streak.
DRAFT · BASELINE TO LOCK
LIFTING · TARGET 4/WEEK0
normal weekly target · 5th session earned when recovery supports it
CARDIO · TARGET 2–3/WEEK0
short runs or soccer · avoid turning every session hard
POSTURE · TARGET 4/WEEK0
10 minutes each · separate from lifting sessions
SLEEP · TARGET 6.5–8 HRS0
lights off · aim for 6.5–8 hours actual sleep
THE SIX METHODS
Six levers. One feedback loop.
Each method has a behavior we can count and evidence we can use to change the plan.
WEEKLY DATA
Log the evidence.
Quick inputs only. The point is to make the week easier to understand, not create another job.

TRAINING ANCHORS
Two additions to the starting program.
Keep the exercises you already like. These fill the clearest gaps without rebuilding the routine.
UPPER
Lateral raises
3 × 10–15 · add to Upper A & B. Direct lateral-delt work for shoulder width.
LOWER
Romanian deadlifts
3 × 8–12 · add to Lower A & B. Builds hamstrings/glutes and the posterior chain.

PHYSICAL OUTCOMES
What success should look like.
These are draft measures. We collect the baseline first, then lock the exact targets instead of pretending we know them today.
BASELINE · FIRST 2 WEEKS
PHYSIQUEBASELINE
Tentative 155–160 lb zone, not a hard ceiling. Pair with waist + monthly photos.
UPPER BODY↑ TREND
Biweekly selected lifts; monthly arm/chest measurements where useful.

Comfortable distance is the goal. Time is tracked only to show progress.
SLEEP6.5–8 H

We have not locked the SMART measures for this part yet. Until we do, this section is a planning space rather than a fake progress bar.
Current direction
Measure capability through a small number of projects that increase in difficulty and leave something tangible behind.
WEEKLY REVIEW
Six things to check.
Keep the review simple. Look at the six methods, record the evidence that matters, and immediately see what needs attention.
