Thanks, Daphne. I try not to let a lapse turn into collapse but if it does, the best way to get back on track is Rapid Fire.

I know this works. When I tell myself I love it I mean it because I do love it when it gets going. It’s just hard to start sometimes but actually when I look back after a project is finished I realised I did love it. A friend once helped me to ‘enjoy the journey’ instead of putting all the energy and expectations of satisfaction and happiness into the end result. Love your blog. It helped me achieve a difficult deadline yesterday! Thanks

Thanks for the extra ideas, Rohi. They sound really smart to me. There’s nothing worse than siting in front of a blank computer screen, not knowing what to write. Better to stand up and go do something else for awhile…

I also use a technique called Rapid Fire when I feel unmotivated – do different activities for not more than 5 to 15 minutes at a time – exercise, then meditate, then freewrite, then plan and so on. Helps to break the inertia and get going.

There seem to be a few words missing here, Roger, but thanks so much for your kind thoughts!

I am amazed and deeply grateful

I can’t speak or read Portuguese but I loved seeing a mind map on your site!
