I know it’s true for a lot of creatives, but I often find myself struggling against the desire to do many, many things at the same time.
Like, right now behind me I have all the tools for another stop motion movie. I even have the script and the storyboard all done! I think I finished them in late 2024! I could just… do that right now… but instead I’m going to try and finish at least a chapter in the novel today. Maybe after that…
See? I’m already thinking about how I can work on a different project, despite not having even started today’s work on this project. And, to be completely honest, while I’m writing this blog post I’m also bouncing around, messaging some friends for board games tonight (Sidereal Confluence, a great space-themed trading game!), checking my email, and queuing up videos to watch!
Focusing is hard!
Ah well. For the most part it’s okay… I know I’m bad at multitasking, so I can usually hunker down and get one thing done (or a lot of one thing done) before I mentally switch to the next task. But there are days that are more difficult, no question.
Hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!
