It's a great question. Is it time or energy that is stealing the creative flow?
With all the end of year and holiday stuff, I am going to let go of trying to get to the draft page for a while and focus on being present with people and then resting hard core.
Inevitably, there is that nothing week between Christmas and the New Year and maybe that will foster creative flow again.
I'm with you. No beating myself up for not finding the time. It's energy for it that needs to be there and then it's like time doesn't exist anyway.
I think many problems we do have sometimes just need a little reframing. The no time one is interesting cause like you say most of the time means I have no energy.
It reflects quite well the challenges any creator may face. Much more important in the scenario of handling your corporate job, your family, and then your side business.
Hi Ramon. Yes the struggles of a job, family and side business are real. Once you’ve gotten to the stage where you can do your job on autopilot you have a lot more mental capacities freed up for the side business and family
So good, thank you for writing this, especially about being honest with yourself. Methods, plans, and routines are useless if you are unaware of your reasons, motives, and inner energy dynamics. And from time to time, we all need space to recalibrate - without thinking "What's wrong with me"!

Another great read. Thank you.
And timely! Yes, I saw the pun as I typed it.
😀🤣. Thanks Jess. I’m always up for a pun or two. I think that week between Christmas and new year is great for thinking planning and contemplating 😀

Yeah I’m obsessed with reframing at the moment 🤣
🤣 I'm still waiting to have a bit of that obcession

Exactly. In fact taking the time to recalibrate is essential. At least in my experience. If you fail to do this you can take a wrong turn quite easily
Yes, indeed!
We make time for the things we care about.
Yes!
