When a project ships, we can use that energy to start a new one (which doesn't mean you have to have the final idea solidified). Start taking notes, reflect on what went well, doodle, collage - these might spark the next project for you.
How do I tap into my creative reserves?
• I keep an ideas catalog in my Notion* (which is where I organize my life)
(*This is an affiliate link where I gain a small kickback, and you get $10 credit if you sign up!)
• I free write every morning - once in my journal (inward) and then in a Notion page - where I start to synthesize ideas
• Free write one day, edit the next (or even later!). It lets the ideas simmer.
• I hide some ideas away and come back to them when I am cleaning and re-organizing.
I feel as a creative, we are in a constant state of output, but we can always come back to our ideas and remember that we have the capability to keep on producing. Don't let fear get in the way.
