To be present as well as learning to be alone is a habit. Some people are really good at it because they make time to do it-in fact, they need it or else they would go mad.
Throughout your day find a moment, however fleeting, to just sit and be still. Doesn't matter where you are. Take a few deep breathes, put your phone on vibrate so there's no chance of interruption, and just reflect on the series of events that took place throughout your day. When you're working, be ruthlessly present. Let your mind focus on the task at hand, what you're trying to accomplish, and do it with diligence, patience, attentiveness, and care. Sooner or later, you'll realize how much of an asset this is to your creativity and overall quality of life.
