“I have a lyric journal that I write in a lot. When I’m going to play, I just sit down and have my books with me and my notes and tapes and whatever I need to refer to.

“There isn't a single day I don't do some writing -- if you don't, you won't have a book. When you're self-employed it is very easy to burn away your time instead -- answering e-mails, surfing the Internet, or hanging out with friends. You really must have the discipline to sit down and write every day. Most of what I am writing is living in the back of my head or in my subconscious. I find if I write every day, my subconscious will do the job for me.” IfsWritingBookSelfJobsEasyInternetDisciplineDown AndHanging OutMailSubconsciousEmployedSurfingSurfing The InternetHanging Out With Friends Author:Charles de Lint

“If you just sit and observe, you will see how restless your mind is. If you try to calm it, it only makes it worse, but over time it does calm, and when it does, there's room to hear more subtle things - that's when your intuition starts to blossom and you start to see things more clearly and be in the present more. Your mind just slows down, and you see a tremendous expanse in the moment. You see so much more than you could see before. It's a discipline; you have to practice it.” IfsTryingMindDoeMomentsRoomsPracticeDisciplineDown AndCalmIntuitionSubtleSlow DownRestlessExpanse Book:Steve Jobs Source: Steve Jobs
