Notice what arises when you feel rushed or stressed, particularly around your relationship to time, and recognize that this subjective feeling of time can change. The same amount of time you give to the creative process might feel spacious one week and sparse the next. Know that just coming to the page and engaging in the process is a huge step.

Loss of control and perspective is the natural price you will pay for being creative and productive. The trick is not how to prevent this happening, but how to shorten the time you stay in an unsettled state.
