Focus

To stay focus is to allow yourself to be in some sort of rhythm of work that you truly enjoy. Whether you are an artist, a maker or any professional It doesn’t really matter how long you’re going at it at something as long as you are totally there. Fun often equates to focus. 

As I recall the time when I was starting out in pottery, I always caught myself hopping from one idea to the next, ‘I have to make the tallest vase’, ‘I have to make the perfectly round bowl’ - these are all the things mind will tell you and in the end they are simply distractions from what is unfolding right in front you.
