SET DEADLINES
‘Deadlines’ might sound scary, but I promise you that they’re one of the most useful tools in our creativity toolkit.
Whenever I want to create a new magic show, I always book a theatre, pick a name for the show (that’s always a really fun bit), and begin selling tickets before I have even THE SLIGHTEST IDEA about what’s going to be in it.
At that moment, there is no show. But I have a deadline and having that looming over me is a brilliant way to FOCUS MY CREATIVITY on that single project. I don’t have a choice, I tell myself, I HAVE to be creative!
It works every time!
