So Cal believes that long stretches of time to focus are good, and so quitting your job is a good idea… Well, I had a Sabbatical year and did indeed work on some great stuff, but not having anything on hand at all except writing itself can be quite boring, I discovered. Didn’t Sol Weintraub do his best writing after his day to day work as a mason? He had ample time to think during the day and wrote at night.

I tend to agree with that. I work on a personal project and the fact that the time I can allocate to it is constrained makes me extremely eager to work on it when I can. If I could work on it 8 hours a day, I think it would become a chore after a few week and all my creativity would be replaced by boredom.
