As creators we must have laser beam focus on the creative task in front of us. It is important that we capture our creative flow of genius as soon as it strikes. Otherwise we miss the gems of an idea that could be revolutionary.
In order to maintain that focus we must not “look up” (metaphorically speaking) while engaged in creation. “Looking up” can disturb our vision and slow the passion for the idea being created at the time.
It can also give us a new perspective on the same idea after a split second of distraction or “looking up”.
The mission statement has to be “I’m going to be as creative as possible while my creative engine is running until I have no gas left.” Create until the idea run dry. “Looking up” in between the task can really hurt the process.
Just like it’s hard for a human to physically stop right then and there while sprinting as a high concentration rate.
Morale of this post: create as much as you can while the iron is hot because once it cools down you have to let it reset all over again.
