I was a the company newsletter/donor magazine writer, and what I was really doing was writing the stories she was paying me to do write ... but in my head. I'd stare at the wall, or out the window, or pace in my office, or take a walk, in order to piece together the four interviews I'd done, to write my column. Because I was young and REALLY hung up on what others thought of me, I started filling my creative thinking time with "looking busy" so I wouldn't get in trouble. And that caused me to become less efficient, less creative, and to feel like my work, and especially my process, was "wrong". Reading this post made me realize that this habit, started 12 years ago, sticks with me today. And on Monday, I'm nipping it in the bud. A boss once “wrote me up” for daydreaming on the job.

I've been watching this trap of the mind for a long time - that any time the mind wants to go faster, it's running away from actually moving. Same with: I won't be successful if I don't do all this stuff, and it's likely that a lot of that stuff *directly* gets in the way of me being successful in the way I want to be successful. Staring at the wall time? In. Wow wow wow.
