Your state of mind.
This should shape everything else and dictate the process.
Clean,
Streamlined,
Like a well-engineered automobile.
Get it out of your mind and onto the page.
Electronic,
Loose leaf,
Whatever.
Your surroundings kept simple yet inspiring.
Sunlight is great for this.
Check out the Optimum Environment session from the Freedom from Failure course.
Feel energized,
Fed,
Slept,
Washed,
Exercised,
Stretched,
Blood moving,
Focused,
And get in there.
If you need to outline,
Great,
But just get in there.
The mind is not doing the work alone for you.
You will need to get your hands moving and begin typing or begin picking up that tool,
Operate that instrument,
Device,
That machine,
That spreadsheet,
That brush,
Room,
Pen and pad,
Keyboard.
Put that distraction to the side.
It will just want to interrupt you and tell you all of the reasons it is more important than your task,
Your job,
Your future,
Your potential,
Your money earner,
Your creative goal,
Your fortune,
Your teacher and guide of all you can be.
The phone is not going to make you more stoical,
More Spartan,
More disciplined,
More monomaniacally focused,
More resolute.
This comes from you.
Use the resistance as a way to build your resolve,
Your engagement to your masterpiece.
You,
The chiseling away of the selections that deter you from your goals,
Your commitment to your better system.
Things are not so hard.
They just need better programs installed to achieve their completion.
So put nothing between you and that objective.
Zero.
Just clear runway from point A to point B.
