After some lengthy discussions today, I realised that my distractibility/ loss of focus is not the cause of my low work rate, but potentially just a symptom.

I’ve begun to understand that I get distracted when I’m not sure where to start. When I have a blank page in front of me.

And that’s because I’m so scared of writing down something that’s wrong.

And then I end up writing nothing at all.

This perfectionism keeps me frozen. And in a desperate bid for gratification, I lose focus and turn to other, more instant sources.

So I need to develop my ability to play. To be wrong. And to put down words, even if they get deleted later.

I need to be less scared, and be more comfortable with exploring.
