Things to make you go Mmmm…

"To encourage creativity by sharing more inspiration than any electronic artist.”
Three thoughts for your creativity and one on mine.
3 for you:
Prioritise.
“To achieve an extraordinary result you must choose what matters most and give it all the time it demands. This requires getting extremely out of balance in relation to all other work issues...” - Gary Keller
Go for it.
"I have noticed that doing the sensible thing is only a good idea when the decision is quite small. For the life-changing things, you must risk it." - Jeanette Winterson
Enjoy the work.
"I heard in a sermon once that the definition of self-control was to choose the important over the urgent.
Often, I've wished that I could've had quicker success, greater financial security, more respect, et cetera, as a writer. For nearly twelve years now since leaving the law, I have often felt ashamed for wanting to be a writer and doubtful of my talents.
What helped in these moments was to consider what was important, rather than the urgent feelings of embarrassment and helplessness. What was important is still important now: to learn to write better in order to better complete the vision one holds in one's head and to enjoy the writing, because the work has to be the best part." - Min Jin Lee

How to Avoid Inevitable Burnout.
“Avoiding burnout isn’t about doing less -
it’s about doing differently.
Pace yourself.
Protect your energy like it’s part of the creative process - because it is.
Burnout doesn’t hit all at once - it creeps in when rest gets skipped, and pressure takes over.
Listen early. Adjust often.
Sustainable creativity is the real flex.”
