Why is it easier to clean when you have a big project you should be working on?

Why is it easier to do stuff rather than create art?

Because it’s easier to procrastinate than create.  It’s easier to watch TV than write a novel.  It’s easier to listen to the enemy and do nothing than it is to forge a new path.

Steven Pressfield calls this the war of art.

And below, though it’s a slick video, is a great example of someone who, I would surmise, set out to organize their books.  When that became difficult/not so much fun, they decided to make this video.

What project do you need to press through and finish?

What’s stopping you?
