Michelangelo,
when asked about his sculpture
David, said he just chipped away all the parts

It requires self knowledge, introspection, presence, conscious attention to what we are spending our time doing, consciously choosing what we want to engage and create, and letting go of the things, beliefs, ideas, commitments, and choices which don't support that.
Sounds easier that it is, but it's there for us...in our ability to have self awareness and make choices, no matter what our current circumstances.
