Get moving again when you've stopped making anything
you still want to make things, but for months every time you sit down it feels pointless and heavy, and you close the file.
Built on
Steven Pressfield · 2002
Supplies one answer: the heaviness is Resistance, and it's strongest where the work matters most. Turn pro: show up at a set time whether or not you feel like it.
Elizabeth Gilbert · 2015
Supplies the opposite answer: approach the work with curiosity, not combat. Ideas move on if neglected; her abandoned Amazon novel turned up with Ann Patchett.
