I LOVED this post so much. I was just thinking about why I procrastinate so much and how it is based on fear and not laziness. I loved this perspective. How do you find time for creativity?
Thank you, Laura! You are definitely not alone in your fear/procrastination cycle. And great question. I definitely have to schedule time or else I don't do it. I used to try to schedule 30 minutes or more, but I would procrastinate that because I felt overwhelmed. My biggest barrier is ALWAYS starting. So I implemented a 10 minute rule. My rule is that after those 10 minutes, I can stop guilt free. But if I want to keep going, I can do that too. The cool thing is that I almost always keep going -- sometimes for hours! I use this with everything now: cleaning, exercising, creating. And I get so much more done! I feel silly saying that my goal is to create for 10 minutes a day, but hey, if it works, it works :) What about you?
