Actionable Steps
- Don’t be afraid to kill your darlings, many of the times you’ll have to kill your own projects and get better ideas and do it over and over again.
- Exercise can help you get centered in times of chaos as well with meditation, although I should do more of that myself.
- Music can also be one of the best ways to find yourself in the mindset that you want to find yourself in, however for many people like myself, happy music can make them miserable and sad music can make them happy so have that in mind.
- Have some sketch books to gather your ideas, sometimes those ideas will help you get something done in the future, sometimes they will note.
