Hey y’all! It’s Mandy here. I just read a fantastic article called “How to Concentrate on Writing.”
Great title, eh? 
Seriously… This article has some great tips on how to focus when we need to. One thing I’ve fought is the discipline of focus. Especially when I use my computer to facilitate my creative process. My computer is also my #1 source of distraction (can I get an amen?!)…
When I’m “in the zone” and the creative sparks are flying, I don’t need this type of discipline. But, let’s face it, how often am I “in the zone?” Not enough. Most of my creativity is expressed through blood, sweat, and tears, which is exactly why I found this article to be helpful.
So, without further ado:
Amen ad infinitum!
Great article Mandy – and timely, as we are now a third of the way through the year (AAGGHHH) and the discipline has wandered a bit, for some…for me… :/
man, this place has been dead recently…what happened to the weekly check-in/report? I’ve posted several photo series on my blog AND, I wrote out music for one new worship choir song in the month of April!
Plus, I’m doing a weekly photo challenge that anyone is welcome to join…check out this week’s challenge (http://nathanlawrensonphotography.blogspot.com/search/label/One%20Week%20Challenge)!
Excellent article. Thanks for the input. I am a worship leader at one of my church’s two campuses, and I get caught not writing enough–mostly because of my taskload and computer, ha ha. Thanks for the resource Mandy!
Thanks so much! I need to write, I need to write! I just have to get started – my boss, my pastor, everyone is asking me too! It’s hard to leave the everyday and push into a new area…Thanks!
