This is the 7th in a series of ten important (in my opinion) principles about doing creative work. Today's is short and semi-sweet, designed to stir you to action if the previous post didn't:
THE SECOND BEST TIME TO START
The best time to start doing your creative project is ten years ago.
Look at the clock.
What time is it?
That’s right, the second-best time to start.
If you don't know where to start, check the previous post. It mentioned what a writer could do to start. A painter could draw some thumbnail sketches. A musician could jot or record some sounds.
You know what you could do, don't you? Well, now you also know the (second) best time to start!
(My book, Creativity Now, helps you develop a mindset that favors creativity, shows you methods for generating more ideas, gives you tools for translating your ideas into action, and inspires you with case studies of how others have achieved their creative goals. It's published by Pearson and available from Amazon or your other favorite book seller.)
