Show notes: I want you to think of a chore you do. Making the bed, taking out the garbage, a chore you do pretty much every day. It doesn't take too much time. It doesn't take too much effort. A lot of the time you don't really think about doing it because it's become habit. That energy that your putting into that one chore, if you put the same amount of energy into an artistic project, You would end up with at least an amazing novelette, maybe a few wonderful short stories. Little it to death. Every time you do the one chore, you are not anticipating what the great result of you making lunch each day. You don't count up the amount of lunches or the overall weight of the lunches you made that month and feel bad if you didn't make as many this month as you did last month. You do these things with out expecting anything. It's just part of your routine. There's something to be said for putting forth a tiny amount of effort towards a project and doing it blindly. Not looking at how it adds to the project for a good amount of time, being able to leave that project alone accept to add to it each day. Ten minutes of effort. If you need to work on a large project, every day little it to death. Every day, one drawing, one sentence, five minutes of improv music playing, etc. It will take a long time but that's OK. Don't do more on it than what you have planned to. An important part of enjoying your art and immersing yourself in the art is how strong is your will power. Will power is like a muscle. It's gets stronger with practice so that someone who has built up a strong will power finds it very easy and fun to do things that would seem very difficult to try to do. If you have developed a strong will power you will enjoy making art much more. If you start to do something artistically that you have a good idea will take, two hours, your will power is looking at that and for a lot of people it's like their will power is looking up this steep incline. But if you look at a project that you know is going to take ten minutes then your will power looks at that and there's no pressure and there isn't that inertia feeling. "Auh! I'm about to do this really difficult thing!" The same is with all those ten minute routines that you have through out your day. Walking to the store, making that one phone call, checking your email, these are all minor chores that usually don't take more than ten minutes and seem really easy to do. The fun part is: Mark on your calender a year from now when you'll allow yourself to look at the work you created.
