Stuckness Is Overinvestment

  • Creative stuckness happens when you over-invest in one stage of the creative process and try to solve problems only within that stage.
  • Recognizing your favorite creative stage helps you shift to new actions that can get you unstuck.
ADVICE

Participate to Overcome Dormancy

  • Being creatively dormant means you know what stage you are at but are not participating in it.
  • Engage in any small action within your current stage to reconnect and regain satisfaction.
ADVICE

Use Baby Steps for Momentum
