Slow grind today.
I haven’t had it in me to be terribly productive. Butt is in chair and has been for hours. I got one project ticked off, but when I slid to the next one my productivity vanished. The movement between projects is always tough for me. It has a lot to do with gearing down and gearing back up. I shouldn’t have that problem here, because I was already spun up to do the work I am on right now. However, I find myself in a creative quandary. I think what I need to consider is the idea of being ready to roll into any of these projects. I wasn’t today and wound up flailing around until I decided I might as well write this blog.
The key to being successful on multiple projects is organization. I believe I always need to have something ready to go when I get in the chair. I am working to get better at having those things ready and to be able to roll right into whatever I need to–be it work or writing or whatever. I haven’t been so good at the organizing or the readiness. That’s coming.
Some Thoughts:
- Mr. Ballen is a solid storyteller. It may be his voice, word choice or some combination of multiple factors, but he makes every story sound so damn interesting. That being said, I would rather watch him than listen to a podcast. There is no reason for this. All I can think is it is because I have grown used to the visuals I can look up and glance at as I continue to listen and type away on my computer as I am doing now.
