Let's say this um relates to an amazing uh chapter and series of writings in your book that I'm not going to describe because I want people to find it for themselves about disengaging , about disengaging from the process . One question I had as I read that chapter and as you're saying this now is even though you're disengaged , do you believe that your subconscious is working it through that ? I believe so , I believe so .
It's just like it's just a start , you know , you are here . Was it if you have a map and it says you are here , even if you can't see the directions , knowing where we are , feels . Ok .
Now , when I , when I engage in a particular project , whatever it is , I , I dedicate all of myself for that period of time , whatever it is , whether it be uh 20 minutes or whether it be five hours , whatever it is , um total focus and no um outside distraction whatsoever . And when I leave that process , I do my best not to think about it when I'm away from it . I don't bring any materials with me .
That would be , it wouldn't be for actual practical use . Um But there's always a sense of anxiety because I know whatever's gonna happen is completely out of my control . Something's gonna , something either interesting or not will appear and then we're gonna follow that wherever it goes and until something appears for us to follow , I have a lot of anxiety even though I know , even though it has never not come , you know , it has come every time , but there's something about it because I also feel like there might be expectation on me that I'm gonna make it happen and I know that's not happening .
I don't bring any materials with me . I don't leave the studio with works in progress and spend time listening to them during the day or looking for ideas . I , I stay as far away from it when I'm not directly engaging in it as possible .
