Sometimes you just have to buckle down and get something done. You’ve procrastinated enough, and you’re left with no choice. My method for doing that is simple: a fresh can of flavored seltzer and instrumental jazz in the headphones. Anything work-related (especially writing-related) will get done in a jif if I just lock in and get jazzy. 

Sometimes I think I should get a literal hat I can put on when I want to get stuff done. I could call it my getting stuff done hat. Maybe it’d be a cowboy hat… that way I could feel like the lone ranger. I’ve come into town to get some things done, partner. And when I take the hat off, that means it’s party time. Or maybe I have a different hat for partying. Like a lampshade. The possibilities are endless.
