For those looking for notes: OVERCOME CREATIVE BLOCKS — PRACTICAL TECHNIQUES: “A powerful creative person, he’s not just operating purely on discipline, or purely on inspiration. He’s doing both simultaneously. And that’s what you want to do.” — Leo Guru #1 — Slow down your pace of work #2 — Explore fresh mediums and sources #3 — Focus on perfecting your technique #4 — Create a sandbox for yourself #5 — Create a catalog of inspiring things NOTES: —Creativity involves research, thinking, brainstorming, collaborating or talking to other people, inspiring yourself, e.g. going out into nature. —Take a break from your work. —Find other mediums you can incorporate into your work. —Inspiration = Inspiration = Inspiration —Art and creativity is a very big field. —Masterful world class creators know how to mix and match otherwise weird mediums and weird sources that you normally wouldn’t have thought of as being good combinations. —Instead of thinking how to create the next masterpiece, that’s the end result, think about switching your attention for the next week or next month just on working and improving your technique. Master a specific facet of your craft. Focus on the technique rather than the output. You’re taking the pressure off yourself here. —Have a creative sandbox where you can mess around and experiment and just have little side projects where no shippable product is being created. —You need to be in this experimental mode if you’re an effective creator. This is where your creativity is going to shine. You will get more confidence after you exercise your creative muscles. —The catalog of inspiring ideas can be a folder on your desk or computer desktop that contains things that are inspirational to you and the source of why you wanted to become an artist in the first place. Photographs, images, music, writing, poems, art, etc. —Look at this catalog when you’re feeling low. —Expand this catalog on a weekly basis for years, building up thousands of inspirational things. —You need to improve on your creative process. —Get in touch with your source motivation. —A powerful creative person, he’s not just operating purely on discipline, or purely on inspiration. He’s doing both simultaneously. And that’s what you want to do. —Focus on the process and the psychology behind the creative process as well. —Make sure you’re absolutely rock solid on your life purpose.
