1. As a creator, you’re at war... with yourself.

you build this habit, don’t just practice asking “And what else?” Use Dan Coyle’s principles of Deep Practice from the chapter on habit building and get used to asking the question with genuine interest and curiosity. For bonus points, practice listening to the answers. Hear an interview with DAN COYLE at the Great Work Podcast. Ask It One More Time Let’s start with the understanding that as a general rule, people ask this question too few times rather than too many. And the way to master this habit is to try it out and experiment and see what works. As a guideline, I typically ask it at least three times, and rarely more than five.
The Coaching Habit
Michael Bungay Stanier
To all viewers but yourself, what matters is the product: the finished artwork. To you, and you alone, what matters is the process: the experience of shaping that artwork. The viewers’ concerns are not your concerns (although it’s dangerously easy to adopt their attitudes.) Their job is whatever it is: to be moved by art, to be entertained by it, to make a killing off it, whatever. Your job is to learn to work on your work.
