Maintaining Creative Momentum is All About Habit
Habit goes into all your actions, life hacks, and automations.
Human beings run off of some rather amazing software. We’re capable of making ourselves into something far beyond what any other animal on Planet Earth can.
I’m not a scientist, but I’ve studied enough to know it’s part of the makeup of our brain chemistry that empowers us so. I believe, however, that this is just a matter of the hardware. The software, apps, and programs we run are another matter.
No two people are alike. Even those who have similar goals and do similar things are different. What lights me up and inspires my creative momentum isn’t the same for you. This is why some people are drawn to creative arts and others are drawn to more analytical things.
Whatever the case, maintaining momentum with anything — especially creative work — comes down to habit.
No idea, concept, or action becomes regular and ongoing without habit-building. Habit is how rote and routine are created.
Maintaining creative momentum is all about habit.
