Write or do nothing

I watched an interview with Neil Gaiman the other day where he talked about his strategy for writing and it still occupies my mind because I find it so interesting.

He sits down and only allows himself to either write or do nothing. This works because eventually it’ll be more intriguing to write than to do nothing and it’s in that state of boredom where magical ideas start popping up in your mind.

Doing nothing can actually be productive because you’ll somehow reset your perspective and allow your mind to flow freely.
