Procrastinate to Create?
January 28th, 2010
Though it may sound slovenly, or just plain lazy, I’m going to advocate for something unconventional here… Procrastination.
I’ve been procrastinating a bit, and it mainly has to do with my fear of going at this script again, tearing it apart, and it still not coming out right.
The time away is actually doing something positive: It’s making me hungry again…
The difference between doing something out of obligation or doing it because you want to do it is the difference between night and day. Desire always trumps duty.
Procrastinating a bit is not only helping me feel hungry because of the space and distance… but it’s helping me get more comfortable with the new ideas I’ve come up with — helping to alleviate the initial fear, and most importantly, helping me get more clear on the ideas (and why they might just work).
So while I’m all for getting behind a work to give it the push that it needs, sometimes a break can be a very good thing indeed.
