This is good Matta. When I'm writing I can end up pushing on far too long when I should leave my computer for a while and take a break. I have a one hour hourglass which I purchased with the intention of reminding me that I need to take a break, but of course it's all too easy to ignore that when I'm in the thick of harassing words on my screen.
Excellent post! Even work we love can feel like a job when we're tired or uninspired. I usually go for a walk or take a 20 min power nap. Also i have a playlist of fast pop-punk songs that help get me going. Nice job!
"Incredibly stoppable" is so accurate! I have found as well that if I get started for a little bit (the "one panel" trick) that can help get me started. The timer program is a brilliant idea!
