Today I share the habits that have helped me overcome procrastination and get back on track to finishing a polished first draft before the end of the year. I speak about:- The fatigue of continuous self-motivation. - Creating manageable and meaningful goals worthy of pursuing regardless of the outcome.- Deciding on a lighthouse to 'sail towards' for this draft only (knowing you can always change course in the following draft).- Discovering what habit cues support a fulfilling writing session for you (everyone's different). And what cues in your environment distract or delay your writing sessions.- How to switch between intrinsic and extrinsic rewards.Minimising multitasking on writing days - something Twyla Tharp goes into in her book 'The Creative Habit'.- Building up our tolerance for solitude. Using meditation and mindfulness to better hear the voice of our work.References:Episode 24 Playwriting and ProcrastinationThe Creative Habit by Twyla TharpDr Rebecca Ray 'Breakthrough' podcast on AudibleThank you for listening!
