Avoiding the "Gotta do" voice

I know that for me, the "Gotta get it done" inner voice has to be quieted. And the only way I find to quiet it is to get started painting, while telling myself over and over that it doesn't matter if I get it done soon or not, even if that's a lie. Pretty soon I find myself in the Zone.
I'm like you, Chris - I can't handle extraneous noise of any sort. Glad I'm not the only one out there.
