Solving problems, self expression, bringing something new into the world...and getting paid to do it? What's not to love?
Yet that's not how most creative pros feel about their work. Every day they face a tremendous amount of pressure and uncertainty. The temptation to just play it safe, surrender to distraction, and settle for less-than-your-best work is real.
And it's why - if they're honest - most creative pros are falling out of love with their work a little more each day… a path that leads to burnout, cynicism, and regret.
Daily Creative is all about making sure that's not your story.
Overwhelm
You have so many stakeholders to please, so many problems to solve, and so many confusing priorities that it’s simply difficult to focus.
Uncertainty
No matter how talented you are, there’s never a guarantee that the work you do will actually… work. The uncertainty of creative work is a tension that you must learn to live with, not resolve.
Burnout
Ideas once flowed like water from a spout, but lately, you feel like you’re scraping the bottom of a very dry well. You once loved coming up with ideas, but lately, you feel like you’re just recycling your old material.
Team Tension
Creating things on your own is challenging enough, but when you introduce multiple stakeholders and priorities into the mix, the complexity grows exponentially.
Stuckness
Where is all of this headed? Do you see yourself in the same role in ten years, or do you need to start preparing yourself for the next step? (Oh, and don’t forget to still do your work while you’re figuring it all out.)
Loneliness
Many creative pros feel lonely, misunderstood, and isolated. They think they’re the only one experiencing these challenges, but they’re not. They just need community.
Fall back in love with your work every day and stay in love for a lifetime.
