Staying with It
Momentum Overcomes Procrastination
Part 2

The Implementation Phase

Implementation, however, is another story.

In the implementation phase, procrastination, distraction and lack of focus can all disrupt creative flow and stop momentum to the point where we have to build it up again from scratch.

Have you ever heard the theory that it's easier to re-write than to write? Do you agree? Why do you think that is?

Re-writing is easier because we've got something to work with, something to sink our teeth into. Getting something onto that blank page, though, can be much more difficult.

That's why staying with one thing, until it's done, is such an effective method. We expend a huge amount of time and energy building up momentum on a writing project; getting reacquainted with the original inspiration, getting ideas about structure and form, playing ideas off each other, and gaining a true level of intimacy with the work.

Every time we break away from that, whether it's to answer the phone, get up to stretch, or check on incoming email messages, we lose a little bit of that momentum. Sometimes even as I'm researching a current project, the nature of the Internet (remember it's nicknamed, "the web") means it can be several minutes or longer before I get back into the flow again.

Momentum

Here are five strategies that I use to get my momentum going, in order to get and stay in the creative flow.

1. Future Projects File. What sometimes will scatter our attention are new ideas that pop into our heads. This is both in the inspiration phase and in the implementation phase. Any thoughts or ideas that compete with the one we're actually trying to work on are going to take us out of the momentum of creative flow.

We can get caught up in these thoughts for a couple of reasons. One is that, as I mentioned earlier, it's more fun to be in the "potential" then the "actual". But the other reason is that we may have a legitimate concern that we'll forget the new idea before we get the chance to come back to it.

So I make sure to keep a file dedicated to future project ideas, as well as plenty of scrap paper, so I can quickly capture the essence of the idea. I'm careful not to get into the implementation phase, because that will just take me farther away from the project at hand.

2. Check the desire level for this project. Sometimes when we're procrastinating it's for a good reason. Maybe we've outgrown the current project and it's not one that we're interested in any more. Maybe it's something we thought we "should" take on, but the decision wasn't motivated by our own creative drive.
