I have a favorite game I play to not just combat procrastination but also challenge the feeling that I should work only when I know it’s going to be “good.” This exercise helps keep my definition of what a song is, or can be, open and forgiving enough to allow pleasant anomalies to flourish. It’s a simple game. Basically, the whole gist is to set a timer for any amount of time you can spare (I think five to ten minutes is perfect) and tell yourself that whatever comes to you in that amount of time is a song. I even like to record what I come up with into my phone at the end
