Are you feeling stuck in your work? Are you unable to get your creative juices flowing?
It might be because you're not challenging yourself enough or the task is simply too easy.
Remember, flow occurs when our skill matches the difficulty of the task - the Goldilocks zone 🤩
Struggling to get in the groove?
Don't stress! Flow comes easier when we let our minds wander.
Pause on the work, daydream, take a walk and enjoy the process.
Whatever you do don't stay here (Twitter, Youtube, Instagram, etc) 😬
Just as a tree can't grow without roots, creativity can't flourish without downtime 😌
Make time for restful mind wandering - it's an important part of the creative process.
Your next breakthrough could be one daydream away 💭
Embrace quantity and watch quality improve.
It's about building a habit of finishing, not perfecting.
A completed project deepens your insight into the entire process.
Over time the quality of your output will naturally improve.
Nearly 40% of our listeners say social media is the #1 distraction.
Turn social media into a source of entertainment and inspiration instead of a distraction:
Time box your time on social media.
Maybe you come here for inspiration.
Maybe you come here for entertainment.
Maybe you come here to connect.
*Everything in the right dose is enjoyable.*
Dose yourself correctly by time boxing your social media.
For example, have you tried viewing social media only between the hours of 4 and 5 pm?
Imagine the morning and afternoon of pure focus this would grant you.
Happy Thursday! Another opportunity to finish your work early and take Friday off 🏝️😎

Try this: DO NOT look at your phone until 1 pm (after lunch) every day.
Are you capable of doing this? If not, it's possible that your attention span and willpower are in serious decline.
