Whenever I try to create a level, I always for some reason lose focus. Anybody go anytips to how to stay motivated while creating?

Only create something if you are enjoying it, once it gets boring, put it down and come back to it once you get fresh ideas to add to it. You should only create because you want to, not because you feel you have to.

It is quite hard to stay motivated, I normally use focus because I begin to think the idea I've been working isn't as good as I first thought.

I lose focus very easily as well, and I second Pete's suggestion to leave it and come back to it. I had very long breaks indeed working on Curses! and Sprocket Town. I also took quite a long break from working on the level that I'm about to publish. I think if you plan your level thoroughly from the beginning it is probably easier to keep your focus up, but I never do, and I find things get really tricky at about the half-way stage where you have to juggle all of your ideas of where the level might be going next, and how to implement the ideas that you're already working with. In summary, you'll need to give yourself lots of time for your thoughts to ferment and develop, be that before you even start, or with regular breaks throughout.

I find focusing immensly hard. At anyone time I have about three different level ideas. Just try and make the one you like the most, and maybe combine them. Don't make a checklist of ideas as not all of them will work, and it is easy to get frustrated. Just think of it like a story and make what you want for the end and build up around the idea. Allow your thoughts to convulge and think about what your going to do before you do it.

Yeah, I almost never focus. My ideas will randomly come to me. My levels start out cause I take a couple materials and start building something out of 'em.
