manage our time as creatives, we often set our expectations way too high. You can\u2019t expect your creative juices to flow all the time. It doesn\u2019t work that way and you know it. It\u2019s nearly impossible to write a screenplay in a month, although some people do it. Are you trying to write a novel in three weeks? Realistically, have you ever even come close? Always set your expectations to the right level and give yourself enough leeway to screw up and waste time when needed.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
