One of the biggest traps for creative work is postponing. Either because of \u201cwaiting for inspiration\u201d. Or because of perfectionism, saying \u201cI`m not good enough yet, conditions are not ideal at the moment,…\u201d<\/p>

I`ve written about this before but it`s been one of the most important lessons for me: Creativity means commitment which implies planning your day, setting priorities, and setting aside time for them. Creative work means fight and determination. And actually doing the work now.<\/p>

\u201cInspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us just show up and get to work\u201d, said photographer Chuck Close. \u201cIf you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The other day, I had an interesting interview with singer and musician Joe Vox. He has released an album together with other musicians called \u201cCOVid IDentities\u201d. Because of the lockdown, one of the musicians didn`t have access to fancy recording technology. So he just used his phone. Simple as that.<\/p>

The musicians made things work, even though conditions weren`t ideal. Joe Vox said: \u201cAs a creative, you don`t need the perfect setting. On the contrary: Too much perfection can indeed harm because you constantly find that settings aren`t ideal. And you end up doing nothing at all because of that. You can always do something when you are creative and really want to.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Eine der gr\u00f6\u00dften Fallen f\u00fcr kreative Arbeit ist Aufschieberitis. Entweder weil man auf \u201cInspiration\u201d wartet. Oder wegen Perfektionismus, der einem sagt \u201cIch bin noch nicht gut genug, die Bedingungen sind im Moment noch nicht ideal,\u2026\u201c<\/p>

Ich habe schon mal \u00fcber dieses Thema geschrieben, aber es ist eine der wichtigsten Lektionen f\u00fcr mich gewesen: Kreativit\u00e4t bedeutet Einsatz und sich zu verpflichten, Priorit\u00e4ten zu setzen und daf\u00fcr Zeit zu reservieren. Also den Tag entsprechend drum herum zu planen. Es bedeutet auch zu k\u00e4mpfen und entschlossen zu sein. Und sich tats\u00e4chlich jetzt an die Arbeit zu machen.<\/p>

\u201eInspiration ist was f\u00fcr Amateure. Wir anderen lassen uns blicken und machen uns an die Arbeit\u201c, sagte Fotograf Chuck Close. \u201eWenn du darauf wartest, dass sich die Wolken auftun und dich ein Geistesblitz trifft, dann wirst du nicht besonders viel zustande bringen. All die besten Ideen kommen aus dem Prozess heraus. Sie entstehen bei der Arbeit selbst.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Neulich hatte ich ein interessantes Interview mit S\u00e4nger und Musiker Joe Vox. Er hat ein Album \u201cCOVid Identities\u201d mit anderen Musikern zusammen herausgebracht. Wegen des Lockdowns hatte einer der Musiker keinen Zugang zu richtiger Aufnahmetechnik. Also hat er sein Handy benutzt. Ganz einfach.<\/p>

Die Musiker haben die CD m\u00f6glich gemacht, auch wenn nicht alles ideal war.\u00a0 Joe Vox sagte: \u201c Als Kreativer braucht man nicht die perfekten Bedingungen. Im Gegenteil: Zu viel Perfektion tut oft nicht gut, denn man findet dauernd, dass die Umst\u00e4nde nicht gut genug sind. Und am Ende kommt gar nichts bei raus. Man kann immer was machen, wenn man Kreativit\u00e4t hat und wirklich will.\u201c<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
