My personal journey
For many years, I was struggling to get my passion projects started, and finished (I've always had a lot!)
- I would write my ideas down on paper, then forget where I put them.
- I would start a novel project, get overwhelmed at the sheer size, then abandon it.
- I would sketch out a video game idea, start working on it, but then get bored, lonely, and feel siloed off in the corner (where are my creative partners?) The project would get shelved.
But eventually, after many days of journalling, brainstorming, honest conversations with trusted friends (and lots of therapy), I was finally starting to figure it out
- I started meeting my emotions, thoughts, and scary thoughts with love and curiosity, rather than shame or judgement.
- I started observing my own relationship to productivity, shedding away the expectation that I 'should be productive'.
- I set up a working version of my 2nd Brain with the Notion app (other apps work too).
Today...I am working on several passion projects at once (from dance to music to art to video games). I'm also practicing vulnerability and connecting with others.
Aaaand, I finally did make my video game! 🙌
