When I have visited some of these 'type' of sites (yours is 'most unique,' and I do not bunch it together with the others:):) I had never gotten the one-on-one interaction like I do here...most are not 'personal' and do not have the 'human touch' as you and your staff give it.

In a previous article I mentioned a new credo that I'm working to adopt into my life, and that's to "do one thing (at a time) and do it well".
When I can focus my thoughts, efforts and energies on that ONE thing (at a time), I'm much more productive and I enjoy my work (or play, or learning) much more. - From "The Magic of Storytelling" by Linda Dessau.
Today I'm going to discuss two phases of the creative process -- inspiration and implementation -- and how to maximize momentum in each phase.
When we procrastinate, we fuel our inner critic's statements that, "You're no good", "You can't do it" and "You'll never finish it". We provide evidence that those messages are true, and we sink a little lower in our seats and a little father away from our passion.
When we gain momentum in the creative flow, however, quite the opposite occurs. We create evidence that, "I AM good!" "I CAN do it!" and then, "I finished!"
Two Phases of Creative Expression
The Inspiration Phase
My most creative time is when I wake up in the morning. Without even consciously trying I am visited by countless ideas, solutions to yesterday's problems, ideas for future projects and other gems.
Momentum carries me before my inner critic is awake enough to stop it.
Sometimes in the inspiration phase, I can consciously harness the momentum. I plant a problem to be solved, and then just open myself up to my muse and let the floodgates pour open.
In fact, I did that when I wrote this article. I knew I wanted to get started on writing, but I didn't know what I wanted to write about. So I got quiet for a moment until the topic settled in my mind -- "momentum". Then I consciously focused my attention on the topic, with a blank sheet of paper and a pen nearby.
I drafted the structure of the article as I went on with my morning chores.
So the first step of the process -- the inspiration -- was complete.
But the article wasn't.
Here's where we sometimes get stumped in the process - when it's time to sit down and actually carry out our inspiration. Here's where the "work" comes in. Here's where we have to "crank it out", keep at it; the ongoing, sometimes monotonous task of completing something that we've started.
We prefer to stay in the land of inspiration. Where we can just picture the fruits of our labors, the perfect implementation of our creative ideas, without actually having to work at it.
Does this mean that we're lazy? Well, sometimes, but I don't think that's the point. It's recognizing the different creative energies that are used in the inspiration phase versus the implementation phase.
Most of us don't consciously procrastinate when it comes to inspiration. We may not make enough time or space in our lives to be open to inspiration, but we don't usually consciously block it out. Nor could we!
