Working at Joe’s Dump
Here’s a bit of a peek behind the curtain about Working at Joe’s Dump.
I keep a Google doc with all of my ideas for new posts. Once I’ve actually gotten around to using an idea, I move it over to a completed document. They’re both getting pretty long after all these years.
The reason I mention it is because it’s a great way to stay creative. Whenever I hit a snag in one project, I just look to see what random ideas I’ve had in the past. Sometimes I’ll feel like completing one of those instead.
Right now, I’ve got 3 or 4 songs in the works, some ideas for business posts, poetry and graphics notions, video ideas, etc.
Once you start writing down ideas, the process becomes much easier… and a bit addictive.
So, when I feel overwhelmed or under pressure, it’s time to take a break.
Listen to your muse – sometime she’s saying “Take some time off”.
You’ll come back refreshed and ready to create.
… at least that’s how it works for me 😉
Cheers,
Joe
