Not Having Done
“If you enjoy Having Done so much, why do you have a hard drive full of hundreds of thousands of words of shit you haven’t finished?”
The Doing | 2237
The biggest problem a creative person faces is that between ‘The Dream’ and ‘The Having Done’ is ‘The Doing’.
Different Lengths
I’ve spent the week trying to write things at/of different lengths. Sitting down with a timer, set to 20mins or 40. Just practicing to see how I go.
10 Tips For Creating Online | 2229
After 4 years and nearly 200 podcast episodes, here’s 10 tips for creating online in 2022
Things (Un)finished | 2209
With everything going on in the world over the last few years it has felt selfish to work on creative the things that I feel matter to me.
One Thing at a Time | 2204
This is by no means a world shattering observation. But have over 50 things on my list of things to do means that I’m not finishing anything.
Some Things to Get Done | 2203
I woke up this morning with no idea what I was going to talk about on the show today. As it turned out, ambitions for 2022.
The Fear of Finding Out | 2201
The Long Fear. It’s the question in the dead of the night. It’s there when things are going well, it remains unanswered when you procrastinate
In The Edit | 2146
Lack of copy editing is extremely transparent to a reader. Editing on the other hand is invisible to the reader, but transparent to the writer
Dealing With Procrastination | 2145
The horror as my depression lifted at the beginning of the UK lockdown. It wasn’t depression stopping me. It was something far worse. Me.
Stage or a Clock?
I touched on productivity anxiety during my podcast this week. It’s something that’s been bothering me a lot this year, especially in the weeks before we went on holiday last month.
Do the Things That Need Doing | 2143
The work of body one leaves behind after action, is not left behind in the past. It is a nest of materials that one unfolds into the future from within.
I Ain’t Reading All That | 2142
The other night I had a dream. I opened a letter and read it out loud on camera for this weeks show. What a nightmare.
Checking Out
Since getting back from holiday I realise that I am now in a transition period. I had such a nice time being *away* the *returning* has put me in somewhat of a funk.
Dyslexia | 2137
I was introduced on call the other day as an essayist. The idea that someone would describe me as one left the kid in me with dyslexia reeling
So Many Words
I’ve typed so many words into google docs this week that I now feel like I forgot to save some for the blog.
