There are few blessed people in the world who are completely immune to procrastination. Whether due to a lack of motivation, fear of failure, succumbing to distractions and temptations, or an overestimation of future productivity, habitual or “chronic” procrastinators make up about 20% of the population.
Of course, procrastination doesn’t have to be a deeply ingrained personality trait to occasionally suffer from a zeal for vacuuming and (over)watering plants. But think of canvases or pages left blank and empty collecting dust factually or metaphorically.
If this somehow tugs at a thread of recognition, you’ll want to see Creative Struggle is Real: Stop Procrastinating and Start Making, an inspirational talk from Holly Blondin on the Discovery stage on the first day of this year’s TNW conference. year not to miss. Her book of the same title lays out the idea that “while the creative battle is inevitable, it doesn’t have to feel impossible.”
Blondin says that in her world, the creative process is not just something we do, but a way of life. This applies to both creative professionals and ‘non-creatives’ who work with creative teams that want to make a positive impact.
