In my many years of being an artist, I’ve found that creation seems to flow the smoothest when I’m doing it for myself rather than for the approval of others. Because as soon as you start creating on the basis of external approval, you create an endless trap for yourself. If you notice, the happiest, most successful and most prolific artists are the artists who put out albums strictly on the basis of creation, rather than commercial success.
Rushing is another form of going nowhere. I learned that in a small book called 30 Days to Overcome Procrastination by Corin Devaso. In a strange way it is important to slow down, stop, and reasses what my core values and intentions are...we procrastinate because our core beings are saying "no, I don't want to do that". Mindfulness helped me a lot with this.
“The War of Art” by Steven Pressfield is all about resistance towards the artist and how to overcome it. This book actually changed my life and I cannot recommend it enough!!
Mate me too. He explains how simple yet seeming impossible it is to overcome procrastination. But if you stick with it, it really does work
How to stop procrastinating: Just learn how to enjoy the process, do it for fun
Ignore outside judgement and make art for yourself only
To me, not having a plan is where some of my best ideas come from. You start with an idea and then it becomes what it’s suppose to be. So just jump in and accept whatever may come. Live and learn. Some pieces are just stepping stones to larger ideas. Let go and play
I realized you kinda have to put yourself in a overcompensating position to be naturally creative
If you don’t mind, can you dive a bit deeper?
@@Yolocheese Eminem being the best technical rapper due to him being white in a black industry, Michael Jordan being the best ball player to feed his gambling addiction. Drake rapping about being with other peoples wives and being relatable to women because he can’t rap about drugs and black on black violence and how feminine he is. Biggie being a sharp flowing lyricist due to him getting tired of being arrested for selling crack. Kanye using his production for the lack of his sharp lyricism. Rolex making automatic gold watches instead of electric Apple Watches. The pretty girl that’s bad in bed. The fat girl that’s good at giving head. Lebron James stacking triple doubles and points due to the lack of his rings. Steph being a sharp 3 point shooter due to his shorter height. Me designing avant garde classic sportswear due to the lack of resources i have to compete with lululemon. The short guy that hits the gym. The pretty boy that does boxing.

@@ghostgore2.0 deep bro 😮💨
@@ghostgore2.0god this was a banger
@@ghostgore2.0bro you went off tho, props 😂🎉 this was gold
highlighting the creative priority as you said is really helpful. i think we tend to underestimated the "productive" cousin of procrastination and use it as a means to justify doing something without doing anything really.
for example, i want to write a book. start to finish. yes, my vocab and grammar will be lacking as it's my first time, but telling myself i have to learn more words and do english lessons before getting on is just a shadow tactic. to finish writing i have to continue writing. writing is the priority, not learning the dictionary.
these videos are always so helpful. I never seem to run out of ideas anymore and I can just focus on having fun with my art. it's like i have have a toy box that I can keep pulling from.
I truly love this channel. The videos are always so well put together and always seem to come at a time when I need them most and in the midst of whatever the subject of the video is. Please keep making these!
This channel deserves to hit a mil + subs
I agree. Thanks for the kind words and support.
this channel has been a gold mine
Glad these are connecting for you. Thanks for taking the time to drop the support.
Helping us understand the creative process makes it less overwhelming and painful.
I’ve learned so much from your work!
Really glad this one resonated with you, and great to know the videos are helping. Thanks for taking the time to comment - it's appreciated this side.
They cant think in depth and they stay in th eway of others development. Is clear a mental ill, which can not understand a boundary. Why the fuck you keep bullshiting in vain , when you do nothing than to delay solving problems?
Consistently doing what you love will bring back your motivation
I love your comments on limitation. When I have a free day, I'll make a 'To-Do' list a mile long and then promptly do nothing because I've just loaded myself up with too much. Whereas on those rare creative days, I'll just sit and do the one thing. And smash it out.
John Cleese has a great speech on creativity needing "boundaries of space and time" to be effective.
great insight on J Dilla’s creative process i never knew that before 🙏🏽🤯👨🏽🎨 thanks for these videos Creative Minds as its helping my process for my 4th upcoming album JAPAN PART THREE…even the your insight on placing limitations definitely help as it reminds me when Rick Rubin was subtracting and curating the most essential parts of Kanye’s Yeezus album
Wow this was exactly what I needed to hear today
Love it mate. Thanks
Thank you so much for creating this channel. I listen to your videos in the background while I paint. Your inspiring words and motivation from these artists propel my own creativity. It's incredible content. Keep going.
This is surely one of your best videos so far! - very beautiful - well done mate! 👏🔥
I needed this today. I have so many ideas for projects i’d like to start, but I can’t decide what to do first, and so end up doing nothing at all. This video served as a good reminder that I just need to pick one, set myself a deadline, and then take the pressure off by telling myself I only want to finish one project so that I can start the next, and it doesn’t have to be perfect!
Thanks, really helpful, I'm finding the idea of setting practical limitations really useful 👍
Said what I needed to hear thank you for your wisdom
this was great, thank you for sharing
Thanks for putting this together . It’s a great reminder 🎉
Thank you for this
I really appreciate these videos man
Thank you, I'm really struggling lately after time lost from ill health and surgeries....seriously thanks
Glad this one is helping that journey - thanks for taking the time to let me know, it matters to hear that these are resonating.
I really need to see this video. Thank you for this ❤❤❤
Once again great video! I am actually working on a project and yes sometimes the ideas you have in your mind are limited by this dimension (money, tools, technique..) So you focus on doing it more frugal. The most in every artistic work is the message, it must be clear whatever the practise. and simplicity is the best friend of clarity.
Getting to the flow state is the best part. Having to write a verse 3 times over to get that gold is undefeated. So is writing it good the first time 😂
Many creatives lack the courage to create the painful circumstances that make real output necessary and are too beholden to the idea of sharing it. Ego is making a fool of you.
Thank You
Working on my writing
Love this!!
Always so well said!
That transition from Virgil to the DJ was what i needed today! your video is awesome !
Glad that little bit served your vibes today - I enjoyed making that bit.
i like seeing you open up thank you!!!
Thanks for the support on that tav333 - appreciate you taking the time to drop it.
Channel is a 💎
great vid. i enjoyed this new approach and will be using it to narrow my focus
Great to hear the approach sounded useful for your own work. Thanks for taking the time to comment - it's appreciated.
Ive always said that painting used to be easy but now its hard. I need to stop thinking so much and just paint.
My process with music is very similar. I go through the process of collecting all the sound/libraries I wanna use and then I limit myself to having to use those to get started. I feel like limitations are honestly a cheat code that people heavily overlook.
cool vid!
Thanks for creating this content, been really helping me. Do you have an IG or site with your projects? I’d like to support your journey
Hey, my IG game is pretty lacking. Planning to load up some of my own stuff in 2024 - and most of all I appreciate you wanting to support, thanks for taking the time to drop the comment.
🔥🔥🔥😮💨
3:28 I was listening to this on my headphones and when I looked at the video at this time I was like what the fuck there’s no way that’s J.Dillas voices 😅😂
lol yeah, no that's very much not Dilla
What is that book called again? Just wanted to drop a comment so I can get a reminder Incase I forgot. I’m super interested to read about J Dilla lol
Time by Dan Charnas - it's really well written and goes deep. Would recommend.
@@creativemindsyoutube technically it's called "Dilla Time", referring to his feel/style of timing. Great read though, that and the 33 1/3 book about Donuts
love these videos. are you an infj?
I just had to google that. I haven't done any personality test or anything, but it seems that I might be yes 😃
@@creativemindsyoutube a lot of people chalk it up to pseudoscience, but honestly its been a fantastic grounding tool for helping me understand my identity better for creative shit. id recommend watching renaud continis videos about infjs, he has some incredibly specific and useful content.
Who is the rapper playing flute?
andre 3000 🐐
Yooo
I was gonna watch this but I couldn’t be bothered 🤷🏻♂️
How to Overcome Creative Blocks & Procrastination - advice from a guy who waited 17 years to drop a flute album.
Flashing light warning for fellow epileptics. Pretty much all his videos do this now, quick and constant changes from normal video to a bright white screen and back again. Set off seizures for hours for me. Such a shame to have to unsub, but the gimmick just doesn't play well with epilepsy.
Hey. Thanks for this feedback, it's useful to understand as not something I have experience with. I use the white as it's part of my brand colours, but I'm happy to explore other options in terms of the background slide colour. Do you think an off white, or darker colour slide would help?
@@creativemindsyoutube Thanks for replying. I'd hate to see you have to go to any extra trouble just for accessibility. But yes, lighter text on a darker background would work much better for people with epilepsy and migraines, as well as for most people in general. This is why so many websites have started moving over to darker colors in their design, it's just easier on the eyes.
Hey. I'll take that feedback and try out a different colour in the next video @@neindays. Cheers again for sharing. If you're experiencing that I'm sure others will be too, so helps me out.
That block make me wanna vomit. That is sick, non logical. How can you disgust people with infinite stupidty ?
