Creative work only seems like a magic trick to people who don't understand that it's ultimately still work.

The mindless junk of your past crowds out opportunities and sets pointless limitations. Move out the junk, and you create room for the rest of your life. Ultimately, it's not just a question of tidying your house; it's a question of liberating your heart.

Go a little easier on yourself, and in so doing, be prepared to make and do things that might seem silly at first. Just keep moving: don't ruminate and stare at the wall. Don't just play with your phone: go out and produce something.

Creative work, summarized: In the time you set aside each day to work your ass off, ignore anything that makes you consider stopping.

Being consistent is way less interesting than being yourself. And if you're not interesting? Good luck with your Big Consistency Project.
