Summary

Mike Tyson once said, “everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.”

What do you do when a brilliant idea hits you unexpectedly? We all know the feeling- that little creative jolt of inspiration… but it’s not always convenient to drop what you’re doing and immediately begin working on this fantastic new idea. And even if you could, would you want to rely on inspiration to strike in order to take action?

Creative distractions are the easiest way to break away from creative work sessions. In today's episode, we're discussing how to make space for them without impacting the work that needs to be done.

0:34.2	I have those interviews once a week, and alternately, on Mondays, I drop a micro show,

1:10.2	wait a minute, I thought inspiration was a good
1:12.0	thing. Hear me out. Whatever your creative project is, inspiration has a really weird way of striking
1:20.8	the moment you start working on something else. Right? It's not a coincidence that we come up with
1:26.8	all kinds of ideas when we're
