This week I’ve felt the urge to move in more creative directions, but have been hit with barriers that feel similar to a writers block. The blank page with nothing coming to mind (when you stare into the blank page it also stares back into you).
My response has been a return to fundamentals. I’ve been working on improving my sleep and exercise. I’ve been reminding myself that “Perfect is the enemy of done” and have pushed myself to produce work and content that originally felt wouldn’t come. Once on the blank page (who are you looking at now, eh!?) I refined and explored it. This gave way to newer ideas and easier paths which I’m now trying out.
This weeks reading has been:
- An intriguing tale on how the CIA stole space technology from the Soviets during the space race without them ever knowing.
- Here is an interesting piece about an early self-help author about being noble as you pursue greatness. It resonated with me as I found in my own career that sharing credit, asking questions, and pushing for time with those I respected has helped me grow and succeed further than I could have imagined.
- Lastly I want to share an amazing technique for outlining a novel that I found in the writing subreddit the week.
