When you sit down to create something today, one part of you will want to finish the job and stay focused on the task at hand and the other - run away and hide. You know you have to do this, so one part of your mind tells you to exclude all distractions and just be there in this moment. But again another part of your mind is busy throwing all kinds of excuses and all kinds of distractions at you.
"Look, somebody has sent you an email. You have to reply right away."
"Oh, what an interesting idea for my next piece has occurred to me. I have to explore it right now."
"It seems like I'm getting tired. I wonder if I should stop and pick up where I left tomorrow."
"This is getting boring. Surely my listeners/viewers/readers won't like this."
"This is silly. Do I really want this?"
Ignore those thoughts. They will definitely come back but stay focused on your current action as long as you have planned in advance.
Right now is nothing more important as your current sentence, current brush, or current chord.
