I've recently found that breaking up my day helps a lot and Balance is the thing I have to struggle for. If I can tick my boxes 1. music for me 2. interacting with people 3. some movement - a walk maybe 4. remembering to drink and eat.
on most days even in a small way, then I'm doing quite well with the time I put towards work. Putting endpoints is good - I'll record til 3pm then do something else.
Plus lists too. I;m a list man. Not alays good at completeing the ticking off to the bitter end tho...
In tough times I;ve found certain books motivational Human Givens, Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway - given me another way of looking at things.
One big hit I get is from getting a strong shot of a creative person that inspires me. A documentary of their work or a good DVD or book about their life or even a good piece of their work - live or DVD. Creativity in others who I admire often I find infectious and drives me on.
I'm lucky just having the music and few Real Life (TM) demands - I doubt I could combine all the things you do as successfully as you do.
