I do my best work when I have an idea, record it and then get out of the way. What I mean by this is that I allow the creative process to occur, unobstructed by ego or internal dialogue over whatever span of time it takes. I too try to have several projects going on at once and often they inform each other.
I enjoyed the read, I once had a moment that has completely changed my life/career too. I was a waiter at a restaurant and our bartender was telling one of his guests about how he was about to go to South Africa to study architecture. I said to him, in front of the guest, "you're so lucky", and the guest said to me "you know, you create your own luck in life". -I know it sounds simplistic, but he was right and I have lived by that motto ever since, doing all I can to create positive situations/experiences through action.
