16 - Create Before You Consume - Revisiting Inspired Thoughts from Creative Calling

This is the first episode in a short series I want to do revisiting some of the concepts that inspired me from Chase Jarvis’ book “Creative Calling: Establish a Daily Practice, Infuse Your World with Meaning, and Succeed in Work + Life”

This episode focuses specifically on suggestion to create before consuming.

All too often, I find myself consuming the content of other creators before I do any of my own creative work. I tell myself that it’s all about inspiration and encouragement, but it is usually just a distraction. 

Even worse, I find that I can get discouraged which really derails my progress.

The answer?  Create BEFORE I consume.
