It's all discipline and schedule for me. I mean, it's very easy to get distracted by the real world and things that intrude constantly, and it takes dedication to live totally in your head and be tuned out.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am a believer in discipline; it takes a lot to do well. You need discipline for those little excursions into the chaotic that make life interesting.
I find it so easy to get distracted - I try not to do more than one thing at any one time.
I have realized sometimes I do better working under a crazy schedule. It gives me less time to overthink things and forces me to be present.
I just have to concentrate on doing what I do.
I think everybody's got different methods of working which suit the particular individual. Mine is to sort of play the part, and give 100%, to concentrate and focus on it while I'm actually working, but then leave it behind until the next day.
I'm pretty disciplined and am almost always on schedule.
Please don't think that I am one of those squishy types who can't handle reality. I have plenty of real-world things to deal with all the time. I have deadlines, meetings, I answer the phone, I get turned down, I wait in lines and am forced to pass for normal all the time.
I certainly have the problem of focusing on doing everything now to get where I want to be, and not actually seeing and taking in and appreciating what's right in front of me or who's right in front of me.
I'm rather a practical person. I just get on and focus on what I have to do. I just don't get sleepless or suffer from the jitters.
I tend to focus on what I'm doing at the moment, and that takes up the entire span of my focus.
