Become More Effective

Dali recommends artists set a goal of painting their masterpiece by working six
days a week, but what if this practice is too ambitious?
Open up your calendar, set a deadline for your creative project and, working
backwards,  block  out  time  on  your  calendar  each  day  to  create.  Then  hold
yourself accountable to this routine.
At  the  end  of  the  week  or  month,  review  your  routine.  Ask  yourself  how
many new ideas you came up with and whether you’re hitting your target word
count or putting in enough hours in front of the canvas or page.
If you find your creative project isn’t on track, consider what’s holding you
back  and  how  you  can  remove  these  blocks.  Get  outside  help  from  somebody
who will hold you accountable if you must. Only renegotiate your deadlines as a
last resort.
