BYS 10/21/23 🟨 Are you working on the wrong project?
Don't be afraid to switch lanes if your current project is causing a mental traffic jam.
Perhaps a new idea is banging around inside your head screaming for attention and is pulling focus from the project currently in front of you. Setting aside your current project and devoting an hour or two to play around with the new idea may be exactly what you need to get back up to speed on your original project.
Overcome creative blocks in today's Big Yellow Sticky...
If you have a creative block, you’re working on the wrong project.
Creative blocks can be frustrating.
You've been staring at your blank canvas or computer screen for what feels like hours and the ideas just aren't flowing. It's as if your creativity has hit a wall and you're left feeling stuck and uninspired.
Perhaps it's not that you lack the creativity, maybe you're simply working on the wrong project. Take a step back and reconsider your current endeavor. Is it truly something that excites and motivates you?
Sometimes a change of direction on an existing project or switching over to a new project can be the key to unlocking your creative potential.
Don't be afraid to switch gears and explore different avenues of thought. The project that's been draining your creative energy might not be the one that resonates with your current passions or interests. Give yourself permission to pivot and try something new. You might just find that when you work on a project that genuinely interests you, the creative block dissipates and your enthusiasm returns in full force.
Take a deep breath, let go of what's not working, and open yourself up to the possibilities of a more fulfilling and inspiring creative journey -- even if it's just a short trip before circling back to your original project.
Creative blocks can happen to the best of us.
Don't be afraid to pivot, explore new avenues, and let your passion guide you. Your most inspiring work might be just be a short break away.
