Creative roadblock? Simplify. Add deadline. Then Fight!
When you’re inspired to create something, and there is some mental roadblock keeping you from executing on your inspiration, I’ve always found it’s helpful to simplify.

Gear list below if you’re interested. Â Also you love my unkempt hair. Maybe I should invest in a comb. Or some hats. Fancy hats. […]
