I believe it was on Wil Wheaton's recommendation that I downloaded Steven Pressfield's "The War of Art" (amazon, audible) and am really pleased that I did. On the surface, it's a book intended as motivation for artists and is entirely framed around creative pursuits. Underneath, it's a book of motivation for anyone who does anything.

Notes:
Every time the reader says "resistance," I have to bite my tongue on "is futile."
At the time of writing, Lance Armstrong had only won three Tours de France and was still a good example.
I am apparently not a professional anything.

Short version:
Sit down and do your work (where "your work" = "make art.") Everything else is resistance and must be destroyed.
