Homemade-from-scratch sauce and crust are two of the most crucial elements. I have a friend who makes the best pizza ever and those are two things he says are important.

Motivation or discipline. Which is better?

Discipline. A routine is more productive than focusing on a nebulous 'goal'.

i'll play devil's advocate: discipline often stifles creativity; motivation is often a symptom

Totally agree. Curious to see what others think, was kinda hoping this would spark a small debate but you've hit the nail on the head right away – for me at least. Interested to see if someone thinks differently?

Out of interest, JCN, do you have a routine you stick to? This whole discipline vs. motivation idea has only really dawned on me in recent months.

Motivation is a symptom of creativity?

It's something that's only dawned on me very recently as well. For years I've been frustrated with getting any sort of decent creative project going, not for money or a career or anything , just for personal satisfaction.
I have notebooks full of ideas, but they rarely go beyond that - the learning curve seems daunting, I have a bit of a perfectionist streak that doesn't help.
The revelation for me was reading a book by Scott Adams, the cartoonist, a sort of autobiography of how he became successful. He devotes a whole chapter to 'Systems vs Goals' and why systems are always better -
'The system-vs-goals model can be applied to most human endeavours. In the world of dieting, losing twenty pounds is a goal, but eating right is a system. In the exercise realm, running a marathon in under four hours is a goal, but exercising daily is a system'.
It's pretty simple I guess, but when I read it I realised that it was the only way I'd every really done or completed anything I wanted to.
When I read your question, I thought of that straight away, also it's something I'm figuring out at the moment, a system to get one of my ideas off the ground.
I guess having a 'routine' can make the whole creative process sound a bit dull, but it's what works for me.
Interested to hear what other folks on here who have a number of albums and whatever else behind them think.
