When you're somebody who may be relances, or you work from home, even with other teams, but you spend a lot of time alone, there's not a lot of accountability potentially built into your schedule. Or if you are managing your own schedule, all of this is heightened tenfold. And thenseo, you have to rely on a lot of will power, which doesn't last very long. As the days and weeks go on, you have a very limited supply of will power. And so relying on that is o also setting yourself up to feel and then you become identified with that.

A vicious cycle it is. Its really extremely rude. It's particularly like difficult im it's difficult for everybody who's dealing with it. And i was thinking about, like, creatives is nota ra ecause you're not under a dead line, unless somebody's commissioning something specific. You are as you're left to your own devices in terms of, you know, making your next project and creating something or tainer for yourself to really do the thing that you do. And, ya, i think there's a lot of that, like, self sabotage talk in the creative world. I cause when we're not creating, we're not doing anything. We're not doing our thing. And how can we expect to build a career, or a life, or make money if we're not doing the thing that we're s we've set out to do? And ya, i don't, ya, and i don't necessary. I mean, self saboti self sabotage is very real. I don't define procrastination as self sabotage. I don't think that's what it is. I think we've been trained to believe that that's what we're doing. But againwhen with a new sort of framework around procrastination and protecting yourself, safeguarding it's just another strategy. But the question always becomes, does that strategy actually work? Or you ye. I mean, another thing, i think they're like pendulum kind of swings between these two extremes of, i'm

I know that i need to create these like, boundaries for myself. And that actually becomes super rigid, because you're like, i need to get thing done. And it's like a fake dead line tht you've created for yourself that either you know is a fake deadline, so you ignore, or you get yourself into that cycle, and you've built this cycle for yourself, which i think happens a ton of procrastinating. Oh, my god, being so stressed up to the deadline. Fock. I have to put this thing out when it's like you're

nobody knows that youre no than the email on tuesday morning. Yes, it might impact your sales, but like, you could send it on tuesday afternoon. I send it on wednesday morning, probably. And like, finding that happy medium between, ok, how do i create some structure for myself? Because that's important to your point, you know, unlike continuing to grow as a person, being prolific as a creator. That means showing up consistently every single day. And on the days that we don't want to show up, which happen a lot, habits are the things that we can fall back on to when we don't want to be created, when we don't like when we can't get a boner up for our work, when we're not inspired. That's when we rely on our habits to like, help us get through those times of darkness, of depression, of like, not really knowing why we're doing the thing.
