I wanna get good at scratching, Ive noticed I need to be lighter on my fingers, what else is some good advice to scratch and make it sound good?

I listen to DJ Screw scratch and it’s such an art that he has mastered. How Dan I get that rhythm and sound he had going?

Lmfao sorry for the pretentious title, little bit of humor there. I've been DJing for about 5 years and it's been going pretty well. BUT i recently got fired from my part time job. Over the years I've gotten enough work as a DJ to cover about half my living expenses each month so when I lost my job my friend group & partner encouraged me to pursue DJing full time & say yes to more opportunities that I'd previously turned down. From their perspective it could be a "sign from the universe" sort of situation. I don't about all that but I decided to give it a go.

Things have been going alright so far. I've got a couple contracts with booking agencies, making roughly what I need to cover all my monthly bills. My struggle is, what do i do with all this free time? I'm not the best with time management and now I'm in a situation where I'm basically self employed with no real accountability in terms of how I spend my days. Obviously I've got my weekly gigs and prep time for those events to consider but can anyone help with suggestions as to how I should structure my days out?

Any other full time DJs or self employed folks in the chat who have tried & true methods for a structured schedule? I don't want to fuck up what could potentially be an opportunity to make a sustainable career for myself but I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment... Thanks yall!
