Thanks to Chava for sending this along.

This complements nicely all the useful things I’ve been learning from Merlin Mann and Dan Bejamin on their excellent show, Back to Work.

Among these things:
* You wouldn’t need inspiration if you were already working on what you want to be doing.
* Make the clackety noise (Merlin’s term for typing, which is what he, a writer, says he does for a living). Or make the motion of whatever it is you need to be doing. If you’re a musician, make sure you’re putting in the hours playing your instrument before you complain about not being inspired to write songs or whatever. If you’re a photographer, keep that shutter going.
