Creative circuit overload

When too many ideas trip the switch

In our house, turning on the microwave and the kettle equals darkness. And we forget every time. 

The same thing happens with creative work. 

It’s not easy admitting when I’m heading towards overload. Not when my inclination is to keep going. And not when it feels like failure. 

This week’s Creativity Helm newsletter is about recognising creative circuit overload and accepting that sometimes you need to flip the switch and reset the system. 

Know the feeling?
