Use the trickster approach in doing your creative work

from Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert

How to Apply This

  1. When you find yourself complaining while working on creative output, ask yourself, “How will I make this fun?”
    Perhaps it would be more fun if you invited your friend to do the work with you. It could also create a challenge for you to accomplish. If you are a painter, for example, you can paint an artwork using only your fingers. Whatever it is, make sure that it will make you happier while doing the work.

  2. Take action and start enjoying the process of working on your creative output.
