From the course: One Minute Motivational Tips for Songwriters
Turn off your phone
- [Narrator] There is nothing, in my experience, more detrimental to the creative process than interruptions. And there is no better device at interrupting than your phone. When you sit down to write, turn off your phone. Here's why. First of all, it shows respect for the writing process itself. It will give you uninterrupted time to do it, even if you're only writing for a short time. Secondarily, if you are collaborating, it is showing respect not only for the writing process, but for your collaborator. So, when you sit down to write, quite simply, turn off your phone.
