Our days can be overwhelming, and because of this, many people put off their creative work. It just doesn’t feel possible.

If you’re in this camp, one or more of these will sound familiar to you:
  • I’m too busy right now; I can always do (insert creative work here) later
  • Things have to be just right before I can do (creative work)
  • When things are settled, that’s when I’ll start
  • I need to clear out my desk, my office, my life before I can start
Of course, the time never comes when you’re feeling settled, when you’re not busy or stressed or overwhelmed. There’s always a reason to put off the creative work.
