Immerse yourself into creative projects!

When you have a creative project, such as writing an article or drafting a plan, try to group as much of the writing and planning as possible. This way, you can really immerse yourself into the project. Often, you will have many different pieces of information, resources, intended outcomes, and situations that all influence your writing or plans. If you don’t immerse yourself – rather you keep putting the project aside – all of this information goes out of your head. It can take up to 45 minutes just to get back to where you left off!
If you do have to put a project on hold, then take notes on what you have to do next, and get back to it ASAP! If you don’t take notes, you won’t WANT to sit down to the project again because you first have to figure out what to do next! That makes procrastination a much more tempting option. Also, the quicker you get back to the project (measured in hours, or maybe even minutes) the quicker and easier it will be to immerse yourself into it again.
Set up long periods of time for your projects, and keep working until you finish!
