Staying Focused

[Homicidalheathen]

I have got 2 months to get it together for a new music project. Those of you who know me know it takes that long to get my vocals back in shape. I have been slacking......started off this year ok but had a friend or two um need me and I kinda got lazy and caught up in stuff......it was sooo nice outside that when I was not busy or working I just played.

So Now I find if someone calls or wants to hang out I look outside and think....only 2 more months of nice weather, one more day of slacking won't hurt.......

I am still giving up caffine and doing well, I don't drink it everyday.......

But getting myself to get down in the basement where it is dark and cold is tough.

Anyone got any tips on how you just make yourself go do something? Something tedious? Something you have to do alone that is kinda boring?

Especially when the temptations are many......?

you may have to sweeten the pot somehow .

if you fight on ,as is,it may build a few psychological calesess "the block".

i guess try to find some new music to inspire even if it meens a new genra.

or try a few duets with someone energetic/inspirational as a warmup

anything that will open your mind to new branches to explore and pull you in

any research into readers block may help with a solution as well,may sound strange but it's the easeir topic to find and you'll be suprized what they(the solutions) have in common

I'd start by making the basement less dark and cold, bring things down to it that you enjoy seeing

Commit yourself to so much time, say work for 2 hours and then give yourself a 10 min. break outside

Get down in the basement and practice or I will come over and bore you to tears. MUAHAHAHahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ahh decorate the basement ,set the mood!

Don't do it alone.

Practicing with others is more fun, and if you have a regular time you know theyre coming over to practice, you know you have to do it.
