"the perceived difficulty of creative work is undisciplined internal context switching." This has my full attention right now. The most recent episode of Plain English with Derrik Thompson meditates on this idea of Focus and avoiding Distraction. As a storyteller, I am always distracted. This is just how it goes for me. I work like a person in the middle of a spider web that senses and responds to everything at once. I am productive, I suppose, because I block out times with certain objectives, but I'm not really sure about that.
I so appreciate your distinction and illustration of the creative process as phasic. We do a thing, and then we do a different thing—and so often blend it all together. Thank you for this!
