Creativity covers so much so this note is my collection of interesting things about it.
In Not Feeling Creative? Try This Trick. Adam Savage answers the question:
Do you have days when you can’t get into a creative mood? What do you do to get rid of the self-doubt and pessimism related to creative process?
He talks about how returning to his cave, he feels connected to his creativity. And how his creativity is motivated and driven partly by the knowledge that life is short and he wants to use his time making things.
He also talks about self-passion during moments when he has the itch to do stuff but he knows he cannot (he uses jet lag as his example and how it’s not safe to operate when jet lagged).
