Things that make you tired

Some things that make you tired, too tired to do your creative work, are pretty subtle.
One of the biggest things can be not planning for a time to do your work. Waiting for a few spare hours a day will not happen. Time gets spent on whatever is in front of your face.
What you are looking at is what you are doing. Don’t look at anything but what you should be looking at when it is time to work. You will never get off the computer or turn that t.v. off or put that phone down if you wait till you feel like it.
Artists are really good at justifying slack time as thinking and processing time.
I am guilty of this. I think well I am thinking about what I am going to do.
But they problem is what your face is looking at is totally occupying your mind unless it is just chores. When you are washing the dishes you can get inspired. While making beds or cooking dinner or working out at the gym,, yup you can get inspiration.
But there are the other things that are mind sucking machines.
Stay away from those. They are like Pandoras box. Don’t open it!
