Ted Husband: I’m editing my first scripted indie feature while also taking on commercials, TV movies, and corporate projects to pay the bills, but constant interruptions derail my planned schedule. How do I stay focused and organized while balancing my feature with the paid editing work that supports my family?

• Organize your ideal calendar with the goal of integration to have “strategic imbalance.” 
• Set realistic expectations on your ideal week given that you are prone to distractions (manageable) and interruptions (outside of your control).
• Manage interruptions with proper communication and setting boundaries.
• Block digital temptations like YouTube or Instagram with apps or notification settings to create easy wins. Explore freedom.to to help block applications during your focus time.
• Push through the uncomfortable first minutes of creative work to unlock deeper focus and flow.
