After reading #1 on Christine Kane’s 7 Tried-and-True Ways to Stifle Your Creativity last night, I was determined to be better this morning. No reading e-mail. No checking Facebook. No reading articles.
No way.
I get so frustrated with myself when I fall prey to these timesuckers when I could be writing. Or doing yoga. Or working on a collage. Or basically anything that is more important that letting my Facebook followers know that I am currently eating a banana.
I even realize it while I’m doing it. I just can’t seem to stop. This morning, instead of spending some solid time writing, I went down the Technorati rabbit hole. Instead of working on my blog, I researched tags, feeds, and all kinds of other things that I’m not even sure I know how to set up or set up correctly. I put something in the header. I have no idea what it really is or does, but hey, I’m sure it was time well spent.
The question is, how do you stop the runaway train? Or, more importantly, how do you keep your train on the track? Suggestions and non-train metaphors welcomed.
