I've just discovered that doing THE WHOLE job the first time means I don't have to come back later and finish it - it's done. Want something out of the dryer? Get the whole load out! Rubbish bin overflowing? Bag it up and take it out to the bin rather than leaving it at the back door for "when I'm just passing through and I feel like taking it out" (because that's usually never). Brilliant!
Now to apply this to my songwriting. Maybe I should try actually finishing a song, which I haven't done in way too long. Maybe I'm wasting energy writing fragments, when I could be channeling and focusing it to produce whole pieces. Maybe that would help me move my focus away from the tiny details (which I'm already good at) to the broader flow and structure of the song (which I'm not so good at). Potentially brilliant!
