An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field. Niels Bohr (1885 - 1962). While this is absolutely true, mistakes are the only way of making progress, but i'm going to show you how to avoid things that will slow down your progress, but it's OK if you make mistakes, because if i have not committed a lot of mistakes, i could have never done anything, and i'm sure it's the right case for you.

Here are the most common mistakes people do when songwriting:

1- Lack of organization: organization is the key to every success including songwriting. It's true that songwriting ideas come and go accidentally and instantly but you have to organize your learning and practicing time.

2- Lack of methodology: this is may be the most crucial element of songwriting, if you don't follow a songwriting method, you'll end up swimming in a sea of ideas without even having a song, so make sure you follow my songwriting methodology or try to figure out what works for you.

3- Pushing too hard: some times people push themselves too hard until exploding. From my experience i noticed that the time i'm exhausted my productivity goes down, so give your self a break when you run out of songwriting ideas and return other time to finish your task.

4- Learning too much and applying nothing: This is very important, because you need to apply the songwriting techniques you've learned and not just keep learning because it will handicap you from producing amazing songs with the knowledge and ideas you've acquired.

These are the most common mistakes people fall into, just make sure you follow my song writing tips and i assure you that you'll end up writing great songs in a very short period.
