A great article. You have raised some very interesting points. I hope you don’t mind me saying, I have recently written an article on things which kill creativity, which I think links very nicely to this as lack of creativity is what causes a lack in productivity at times.

first person ive seen to poiny out listening to music is counter productive which i agree with totally

i nee absolute silence to concentate fully
multi tasking is a myth – it just focusing one one thing then another in rapis succession – its not possible to focus on 2 thiings at the same time -

Great article. Thanks. I agree with every point.

1. To do list: I’m always surprised when other artists see my to-do list sitting on my desk and say “wow, you’re so organized”. Really? Everyone should be doing this. I use regular lined paper and draw a box in the margin next to each item. When it’s done I fill in the box. Easy to scan the column and see what’s been done and what hasn’t. *Bonus: when i fill in the box put the date in next to it. Helps me keep a simple record of what projects I was working on which day.

2. Focus: Funny, I always put on music when I start working on a project… then after a few hours I’ll often look around and realize that the music ran out and I’ve been sitting in silence for hours w/o realizing it. Those are good days.

3. Enjoy yourself: This is my worst sticking point. I agree totally that we need to get outside. I just relocated to San Francisco and I like to just get up and walk around the neighborhood. Knowing full well that the time I’m spending “not working” is time well spent on keeping my mind clear for the creative demands of this special kind of work that I do.

Thanks again

Great Article. lists help me to organize good, especially paper and pen ones these days. I keep also a little notebook with me all the time.
