Episode 53 - How To Focus

If you’re making time for creativity, but you find yourself unfocused and unable to stay with it…there are some things that can help. I’m going to keep hammering this one - you have to set aside time To avoid intimidation, set a short timer Set an intention.  What is the most important thing to finish in this time slice?  Make sure it is in support of the Most Valuable Thing - what will get your product ready to market?  What will get you an audition?   What will establish you as a professional?  What will increase your audience? Don’t worry about right-sizing the timer for the intention.  If 10 minutes is too much or too little, fix it later.  Adjust the timer or the scope of your intention. Keep your mind focused.  If you notice yourself taking on sub tasks or side tasks.  Stop.  Make a note of them and prioritize and do them LATER Stay vigilant.  Meditation can help you notice when you’re going off the rails.
