As a full-time writer, the job is easier if your creativity is “on” every day. Plus, you’ll make more money … because the more creative you are, the more you can write. And, the more you write, the better you’ll become.
However, I understand having days where you just don’t possess the creative energy you need. Maybe a project is taking longer than you thought it would, or you haven’t heard back from a client about another project you’re looking forward to. Either way, you feel some stress, so your creativity suffers.
Here are 10 things you can do (daily, if possible) to keep calm, boost your creativity, enhance your ideas, and keep cranking out killer copy:
1. Disappear for a while.
Sometimes it can feel like everyone needs something from you—and they need it “now.” Instead of working on your goals, you find yourself answering emails and phone calls.
When this happens, disappear for a while. Carve out hours when you’re simply not available. You could do this on a regular basis or whenever you feel that you need a break. You’ll be surprised what you can do with 30 minutes of completely uninterrupted time. Don’t feel pressured to check email or answer your phone. It can wait.
