I've lived with this difficulty for as long as I could hold an opinion. My mind is split along an axis. Half of it seems to be capable of great artistic works using my muscle memory and stuff related, like excellent painting and music, but then when I'm doing this the other half isn't active. I can't write anything down when I'm making music because it ruins my stream of beauty. This is extremely irritating!! !! !! !!
On the flip side, when I do anything technical I have to abandon all artistic aspects of it, like math or sciences. When I do this, I am UNABLE to apply it to anything in the real world, and I become excellent at math and science when it's purely abstract and separate from music and arts entirely. This means that when I DO go sit down to write my music it comes out as patternistic and bleak. I'm getting so frustrated that patternistic isn't a word that this is making hard to write threst of my post. You know what happens when you get 4-5 things annoying you at once? Yea...

So backon topic. I'm not sure what to do with this. I've lived with it my whole life and I'm SOOOO close to achieveing EVERYHTING I want, I'm just unable to combine the two halves of my brain. It's incredibly and painfully annoying, unexpressivly frustrating. I just want to kill a thing!! Any help?

Why not just keep them separated? You don't have to do math and then go try to write a song immediately afterwards, do you? Do them on separate days or something.

Math is more important first and gives you the mindset to appreciate art and science more.
