Inside the Mind of a Creator: 5 Steps to Overcome Procrastination
Let’s take the first step toward turning those “maybe laters” into “let’s get started!”
We’ve all had those moments: a head full of ideas, a plan to bring them to life, yet somehow, we find ourselves scrolling through social media or organising our workspace instead. Procrastination is a struggle every creator faces at some point—it’s that little voice that keeps saying, “Maybe tomorrow…”
Today, let’s tackle this head-on. In this newsletter, we’re diving into practical steps to overcome procrastination and help you stay on track with your creative goals. Let’s take the first step toward turning those “maybe laters” into “let’s get started!”
1. Start Small, Start Now
Big ideas can feel intimidating when you’re trying to bring them to life. Break down your vision into small, achievable steps. If you’re scripting a podcast, start with just the intro. Sometimes, getting started with a single step is all you need to get into the flow.
2. Create a Space That Inspires You
Find a spot that feels like your dedicated “creation zone.” This doesn’t have to be a fully decked-out studio—just a space where you feel comfortable, energised, and free from distractions. When you’re there, it’s all about creating, not scrolling.
3. Use the “5-Minute Rule” to Get Moving
Tell yourself you’ll work on your project for just five minutes. Often, starting is the hardest part, and once you’re rolling, you’ll naturally want to keep going. This small commitment can help you bypass that initial resistance.
4. Let Go of Perfection
One of the biggest obstacles to starting is the fear of not getting it perfect. But the truth is, creativity is a process, not a product. Embrace imperfections and let your work evolve over time. Progress is always more powerful than perfection.
5. Celebrate Your Small Wins
Every step forward deserves recognition. Completed a draft? Finished editing? Give yourself a moment to celebrate each small win. When you acknowledge your progress, you reinforce a positive cycle that makes showing up easier each time.
Procrastination is a tough opponent, but with these small steps, you’ll be well on your way to a more productive and inspired creative journey. Every creator faces it, but the best ones know how to work around it and push forward.
