Creating

Don’t think so much about what you can create from scratch. Think instead about what you can change. Think about what you can iterate.

Nothing you create is completely original. Everything has its source or its influence. So what can you curate? What can you do differently? What can you make better? What can you recreate in your own voice? What can you re-spin or mash-up or re-think?

Setting a goal to create something from nothing is a surefire way to get stuck; that’s too much pressure.

But taking something one step further? Surely you can do that. And then you can do it again.
