I thrive in two types of environments: quiet and insanity. I struggle in the calm middle ground. Both environments cause the same type of behavior in me. I slow down. I think. I act.
When things are on cruise control and simply going along I struggle to get traction on the new. It’s hard to create when your day is full of things to do and none of those things require you to push yourself. The calm of sameness likes to suck you in so that you look up and two years have passed.
I prefer change. I push to make things better and fight back entropy. Given some period of time, everything begins to lose its edge.
Fight for your creativity.
