It’s incredible, the laundry list of reasons and excuses we can put together that stall us from doing the work.
I’m hungry.
I should answer our emails first.
If I put a load of laundry in now, it’ll be ready when I’m done.
Ope, did I just get another email? Better respond to it.
And, take writing a novel for example, there are some really good excuses, too!
Should probably figure out the plot first.
And maybe write some backstories.
And read what other authors in my lane have written.
Then let’s google about writers block. I think I have it.
And so on…
But here’s the reality: if you have enough time to do the distractions before you do the work, then you have enough time to do them after.
If it’s really that important to you (as rationale of an action as your brain is telling you it is) then do it – but after you do the work that needs to be done.
Stay Positive & We Need Your Art First, Excuses After
