Do the work - do not let the idea die at the very beginning, or get caught up in the routine

Today I would like to share with you tips from the book by Stephen Pressfield «Do the work». Despite the fact that the book is written more for people at all creative professions, in the first place - writers, tips fit any more or less large project. I have to say that this book, I do believe very good book on the subject in his own kick ass.

Despite the fact that the book is rather short, it contains many interesting ideas that the Kindle will show you that there is quoted almost every paragraph. But I will highlight two aspects related to the execution of projects: methods of work and its rhythm.

Under the rhythm I here mean all that is connected with the way we put the work in then, because are not yet ready, as we endlessly collect materials and for how long we do not show his creation to public.

The technique also covers how we vyaznem in the middle, the beginning or the end and did not find the strength to continue or finish, because we are beginning to resist the action when the initial enthusiasm passes.

The first thing I will repeat after Stephen: start before they're ready. Do not collect all the necessary materials, simply collect something and start.

If you give yourself a chance - you'll be the stronger to resist the project, the more important and interesting than you it seemed at the beginning. Lift off before you have a chance to understand the complexity of the ideas and the depth of his worthlessness.

second - let go my baby out right awayAs soon as it is ready, do not let doubt stop you. Once finished and immediately - to submit. If you stop, you'll find a lot of reasons not to do so. There is always something that can be done better. There is always a fear of criticism. So stay where collected and safely show your awkward creature.

And now about the technique. Steven just noticed that all work can be divided into three parts: a beginning, middle (development) and an end. Everything is so simple. Write your work plan, and what is not whether the project, it should fit on an A4 page. The upper third - the beginning, the middle - the development of lower - final.

If you are not going to start - record than all over. Let this be one sentence, one line of code, one picture. Then, the same step make sure that he was from or to this point. Then another. To do everything well enough to have three points, with a bright active content, and then - to fill holes between them. Filling procedure must be repeated over and over again. Exactly as many times as necessary, but no more. You must fill in the obvious holes, and not to score his creation debris. Minimalism and simplicity - it is chic.

So: start immediately, Do not let the idea and try to do as much as possible, until awakened resistance. All three partsIt is simple, and if you do not go alone - take a step to the other. When there are at least two parts - simply fill in the blanksUntil all bind.

Everything is very simple. Do the work!
