Create Before You Consume

Too many of us start our days consuming instead of creating: browsing the web, watching TV, whatever. We become audience members and critics. Our thoughts get sucked into what other people are doing, how well we’re doing it, and the response they’re getting from thew world. This is super toxic and a surefire way to undermine your creative mindset. Creating before consuming is a seemingly minor shift that will have a profound effect on your daily outlook and creative capacity.

So the consider this your friendly reminder: Create first. Make something, no matter how small.

Enjoy!
