yes i thought about productivity goals -and they definitely help but as you know its easy to get in a loop of just producing but not improving (though in the book 'creativity' by the guy who wrote flow Csikszentmihalyi ...says those plateus are what lead to the breakthroughs)
I remember an image of PG Wodehouse writing - a friend says he came when he was just starting out - at a top floor, poorly heated flat - wrapped in a blanket and huddled over his paper - merrily scribbling away
might it help to read about a writer -and 'model' their writing habits? In the same way you'd imitate the a golfers swing?
I have thought about doing this technique which i think napolean hill suggests in Think and Grow Rich..- imagine yourself as so and so or that writer advising you?
Side note, I have found that constant drawing helps - by constantly carrying a sketchbook - even a small pocket one...there is an author Louis Auchincloss- who worked full time as a lawyer and wrote his books (and they are good!) this way - just carying a little note pad and scribbling here and there!  |
