Where, even though you have good intentions, you are not able to create? You feel like your creativity is harmed, and procrastination is something that you can’t avoid – ending up checking your Facebook feed and your Twitter stream […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[98],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-277","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-creativity"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":379,"url":"https:\/\/henrietteweber.com\/index.php\/2007\/02\/08\/an-undefined-creativity-manifesto\/","url_meta":{"origin":277,"position":0},"title":"An undefined creativity manifesto","author":"Henriette Weber","date":"February 8, 2007","format":false,"excerpt":"This is a manifesto I did the morning after the creativity workshop at Lift07 - warning, I was in flow when I did it... you cannot define the \"spark of creativity\" - sometimes it's there sometimes it's not - live with itcreativity changes on basis of what culture you're exposed\u2026","rel":"","context":"In "Creativity & Storytelling"","block_context":{"text":"Creativity & Storytelling","link":"https:\/\/henrietteweber.com\/index.php\/category\/business\/creativity\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":233,"url":"https:\/\/henrietteweber.com\/index.php\/2015\/02\/02\/how-to-market-your-creativity\/","url_meta":{"origin":277,"position":1},"title":"How To Market Your Creativity","author":"Henriette Weber","date":"February 2, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"There is one aspect of creativity in particular; a hard nut to crack.
