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.
