    I either set a time limit (like an hour-and-a-half, or two hours) or
    set a piece limit (like 2 or 3 pieces), and let myself play -- then
    back to the "real" work.  It's like a creative outlet valve -- I
    just "let out a little steam", and then get back to the "real",
    paying work. 

    Developmental work definitely has it's place, (and the muses only
    visit when they see fit) so by both allowing myself to "pursue the
    muse" yet also limiting my "hunting" time, I get the best quality of
    concentration from myself.  Then hopefully I'm tired enough to
    schlog though the mundane <grin>.
