Losing Momentum.

Prioritise momentum over speed.

Three weeks since the last issue. Sorry about that!

Momentum is such a funny thing in creative life isn’t it?

When you’re on a streak with something it’s so easy to keep it going because you don’t want to break the streak. But as soon as you do break the streak it can feel so hard to get that momentum back!

Momentum is underrated in its connection to motivation too.

This is why I’ve always believed in pacing yourself instead of going 100mph with editing for example or any element of business.

Driving a constant and continuous 50mph is way more productive over time than driving 100mph in short bursts, then losing momentum and taking burn-out breaks and trying to get motivated from 0mph again.

Even if you need to slow down to 25mph for a bit, it’s easier to speed up again from there than it is to get motivated from a standing start again.

I actually have a podcast episode about this from a few years ago that might be helpful if you struggle with motivation, momentum and inspiration. You can find that here: https://supercharj.co/episode/inspiration-motivation-momentum-creativity/

Right I’ll leave you with that this week.

Thanks for reading.
