Heh.  So, I have been writing some posts on Creativity and Productivity lately. I don't really know what I am talking about, but it is always fun to put words on a page.

So, check out these two posts :

Those are excellent. The first article has tons of useful things! The second one I really relate too!
Only not movies....for me... video games. Namely, Battlefield 2. But I don't see it as anti or counterproductive. Yes, it saps my time. But often the will to create doesn't match my intensity or level of inspiration. I find I need some diversions, often hours at a time. I'm most productive after a brief week long hiatus from music. I agree that once it becomes addictive, there's little room for excuses there but realize there's a fine line between counterproductive habits and legitimate R'n'R activities.

ha ha... well, I have read the thoughts and posts from your site, and you definately have something to say.
