"Almost everyone I've ever met would be well-served by spending more time thinking about what to focus on. It is much more important to work on the right thing than it is to work many hours. Most people waste most of their time on stuff that doesn't matter. Once you have figured out what to do, be unstoppable about getting your small handful of priorities accomplished quickly. I have yet to meet a slow-moving peron who is very successful." - Sam Altman, in his book, "How to Be Successful."
I read this in a fellow artist's newsletter ("Focus is a Force Multiplier" by Clint Watson) and he says that he can't shake the feeling that this is an extremely important idea for us artists to internalize and practice.
The most important thing we can do as artists is to focus on our artwork! Focus on producing it, on improving it, on mastering our craft. It's critical for us artists to design our lives in such a way that maximizes our studio time!
Go make art!
Can I hear an amen!
