Once the external mise en place of the work schedule commences, the only matter is the made exscuses internally within. |
"If the reason doesn't stop everyone, it's an excuse not a roadblock."Seth Godin's book The Practice. I think of this between an actual physical roadblock prevented by mise en place, and a excuse for staling.
I think of this quote, with this unpoliced internet and then find stuff that gets out one's way, to do the work beyond anything else.
To find ways with a fine-toothed combed, to find the excuses that plague them.
Now that's a term that hacks hide behind, Plausible deniability, they were merely doing their job. Some professions, such as commercial entertainment to write and illustrate convivially, relative to an intended reader and genre., allow it. Some, in the literary and journalistic fields, don't.
Credentialism, and the other excuses that happen.
I've tried to pin these reasons to prevent one from doing the professional work necessary, the magic is that there is no magic. Paradoxically speaking. If there is a way to hide behind a block, there will be.
All this..

Applying scientific management to the priceless gift of art, the dance continues.
