it's so hard saying no to things that look like the responsible thing to do. that balance between responsibility (so i can feed myself and pay rent) and being creatively free is a difficult one--is there even a balance between the two? anyway, thank u for this reminder, i needed it today.
This was such a powerful reminder! Creative energy is a gift, and I’ve learned the hard way that if I don’t protect it, everything else will claim it. Thank you for the encouragement to set boundaries, create on purpose, and give our best energy to what actually matters.

**Shiny object syndrome
Love this!

I have done all of these in the past, and have gradually removed them by:
Putting a price on my time when I sense someone is constantly asking for something without taking action themselves.
Creating an environment of efficiency toward one project.
Asking myself the questions you shared.
This is a very valuable post.
I agree: This is a very valuable post.
