Racing Against Myself

If anyone can help me find the artist, please do so that I can give them due credit!!!

STRESS STRESS STRESS STRESS

I've been in this kick, guys. Where I feel as though I'm stumbling over myself in a race against me... I keep having these ideas of what to do next, which project to start, or who to begin harassing for the next ET collaboration and my brain's starting to spin in circles, and I feel like I'm constantly running behind...I' becoming so stressed that the sound of most music only pushes my bitchass nerves further... I gotta get out of this!!!

So, I'm going to stop, breathe in for a second, and start fresh...

Every morning when I wake up, I look in the mirror and ask myself, 'is what I'm about to do what I want to be doing for the rest of my life?' and, if the answer is ever 'no' I change something.

First, I'm going to start holding myself to a more structured schedule... I've been sort of waking up in the morning and working on and off throughout the day, and not really allowing myself any down time, or time away from noises... So, I'm going to start pumping it out at 8am, and calling it quits by 6pm.

I'm going to block out specific tasks throughout the week... Maybe even write out some goals for each week.. We'll see. I'm hoping that this will sort of straighten out my terrible sleeping habits as well... But, we'll see... I'll probably still experience the late night creativity burst every now and then...

Secondly, I'm going to start eating better - Like, actually having meals throughout the day instead of just nibbling on garbage every time I'm hungry. If I stick to my schedule, this should be easy.

Third, I'm going back to a creation a day. I've never felt more productive than when I went on creative stints... I pump out a lot of garbage during those periods, but in the end, you come out with one or two beautiful gems... And, you can never practice enough... So, there's that.

I'll keep you all updated here with the progress... I just feel that it's totally time to kick an entirely new kind of ass, and it's going to take structure and great planning to make that happen.
