For me, the key is "turn off the creativity spigot". I always thought that creativity is one of those lovely positive feedback loops: do more, have more ideas, do more. However, this only works for so long.
I thought that trying to code a new site and write an album at the same time would work. It didn't. My ability to write songs just disappeared.
However, I took Christmas off from creativity and now I'm flying.
- derefr 18y agoI have a blog; I find that I only end up posting to it when I avoid Reddit and HN for a while. Not because they're distracting, but because I comment so much that I end up with nothing, personally, to say on my blog; I just feel like I would be repeating myself. All my little ideas get bound up in the context of someone else's article rather than bound together in the strange seed of imagination that writing without a set topic requires.
