Sometimes I run out of {metaphoric} breath trying to catch all the ideas that are running around in my head. I think of a design, get excited about creating it to fruition then, oh, wait, here comes another idea … and the chase is on. *wink* I end up with 20 ideas in my head, out of breath {well just figuratively} and not enough time to create all of them. How do I pick and select the ones to focus on? All are good and exciting. I think creative people always see the wonderfulness in almost everything around them which makes it difficult to focus on one of the greatnesses. I sometimes get a bit frustrated and feel like I haven’t accomplished anything because I have too many ideas I’m chasing. So here is my little ‘Lisa’ solution that has worked for me … I simply write all of my ideas in my creative journal (that’s the catching them part), then , depending on my time during any particular day, I focus on just one idea. Now, here’s the secret … I have to be HAPPY with my choice for the day. Let the fact I didn’t get to everything be ok! I will eventually get to that project … hey, I’m only one girl. Sounds simple but the ‘letting go and being ok’ plan is the toughest part.
How do you pursue all of your ideas?
Make your day a happy one … the ‘production’ of the day will fall into place and be good!
Enjoy L!
