yes! re your point re what if the "job itself not worth doing" -- when blocked that can be a tempting cop out. for pressfield's framework for this is simple and brilliant: when you try to look beyond the resistance, is there love there?

i love the gem analogy. it is friggin hard. i find it productive to think about resistance as an enemy. the visualization that maria writes about doesn't work as well for me. i like thinking about hard thinking work in physical labor terms. whether it's a ppt or a new mock up or a piece of writing. this super short read by stephen pressfield is totally underrated and a great contribution to the topic: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NK0MJBK/ref=dp-kindle-re...
