Your job is to sit at your desk each day and do the best you can.
This applies to managing your time, being productive and, above all, doing your best work, whether that be writing, designing, coding or anything else.
Will the “muse” be with you every single day? In other words, will you be at your most creative every day? Almost certainly not.
But as Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love, says in this video, “I would like the record to reflect that today I turned up for my part of the job.”
Your part of the job is to sit down and put all that you can into your work. If you can tap into a creative well that allows your work to truly shine that day, so much the better.

Great video, thank you for sharing. I especially love that story about the poet who catches poems by the tail as they thunder past her.
Yes, I liked that part too. An amazing image. : )
