A part of me is extremely creative and actionable. It’s almost like a lot of my ideas come from a huge enthusiasm for creativity that triggers creativity that again generates more enthusiasm. How awesome is that?<\/p>\n
Some days I would even say that I am inside my enthusiasm for creativity “bubble” for hours on end. Getting the details right, letting myself go “all in” in writing or art project, and just exist in a place where there’s room for me and my ideas and not that much else. I think some define it as “flow”.<\/p>\n
Flow is important because it makes us create good shit. Epic shit sometimes even. You have to schedule time to flow in your workday, where you can just go with it and create something deeper, or as Stephen Covey writes in his “7 Habits of highly effective people” – you have to focus on the “important not urgent”. I think it’s the things that you are most passionate about that you end up defining as “important”. Important means flow and creativity and enthusiasm. So it’s all a great inspiring “cycles” to work in.<\/p>\n
Do you agree? Do you share my enthusiasm for creativity?<\/p>\n\n\n
