Been thinking about this for a while now... the importance of making things, or art, of creativity... in a world that feels like its falling a part, the internet is bombarding us with atrosities from all over the world and everyone is polarised in their view... So I wrote some things down...

Don't wait on Motivation...Build Momentum instead - // Shoveit Podcast

The act of doing regularly creates momentum and that feeling of success from simply doing the reps encourages you to go again... thus fuelling your motivation.

Waiting for Motivation is not the key.

Today I am joined by internet friend IRL Ruaridh Kidd. Ruaridh has recently made the leap to go out full-time freelance as a photographer and videographer and I have been working with him from a "creative coach" sort of perspective, helping him with the business side of things, sharing the knowledge that I have learnt, running the business, dealign with clients, budgets etc... today we sit down and have an honest conversation about life as a creative...Ruaridh is based in Cornwall, hes a photographer, videographer, surfer and musician. We've got to know each other through mutual interests over the years online and he made a trip over to Northern Ireland to hang out, surf and shoot some photos.Check out Ruaridh's stuff:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ruaridhkiddYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@RuaridhKiddWebsite: https://www.rkiddmedia.com

A shift from followers to interest based content has left a bit of confusion for me and others I have spoken to, which in turn has put a stop to some content creation. How do we adapt? What do we do? Does any of this even matter?

Instagram have launched Trial Reels - an opportunity to sorta secretly post a reel to a random audience to see what they think of it before you decide to post it properly.... makes sense for business but this sort of thing is so bad for creatives enthusiasm. We should not be seeking the approval of the masses before sharing creative ideas.- - - - - - - - - - - - -// Wanna see more for me? //WEBSITE: http://www.dillonosborne.comYOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/dillonosborneINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/dillonosborneVERO: https://vero.co/dillonosborneTWITTER: http://twitter.com/dillonosborneLINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dillon-osborne-9a966151/

Don't focus on the vlog... focus on the story you are telling.

This is s story for freelancers about the importance of scheduling in personal time, to think, to breathe and to concentrate on personal projects, creative thinking, personal brand ... or ways of clearing the mind.

Sometimes overthinking can be a big problem, the cycle of second guessing what I want to make often ends in nothing being done. Even when you set yourself a deadline, I found that creating daily content really helped me do this and gave me a perceived accountability to... keep going.
