A Brief Guide on How to Overcome Creative Blocks

It doesn’t matter what you are trying to become better at, if you only do the work when you’re motivated, then you’ll never be consistent enough to become a professional. (p15)

Approaching your goals - whatever they are - with the attitude of a professional isn’t easy. In fact, being a pro is painful. (p16)

Becoming a pro doesn’t mean you’re a workaholic. It means that you’re good at making time for what matters to you - especially when you don’t feel like it - instead of playing the role of the victim and letting life happen to you. (p17)

Setting limits for yourself - whether that involves the time you have to work out, the money you have to start a business, or the number of words you can use in a book - often delivers better results than “keeping your options open.” (p21)

Once you know your constraints, you can start figuring out how to work with them. (p23) We all have constraints in our lives. The limitations just determine the size of the canvas you have to work with. What you paint on it is up to you. (p23)

The power of a ritual, is that it provides a mindless way to initiate your behavior. It makes starting your habits easier and that means following through on a consistent basis is easier. (p26)

when the world presents you with something interesting or frustrating or curious, choose to do something about it. Choose to be a creator.(p33) Creating something is the perfect way to avoid wasting the precious moments that we have been given. To contribute, to create, to chip in to the world around you and to add your line to the world’s story - that is a life well lived.(p33)

What will you create today?
