I think creative block is just another manifestation of anxiety. You're afraid you won't be able to produce good stuff, so you ruminate and avoid actually trying.
Great tips, Frank!! If we take the time to step back and observe, we can learn a lot about creativity and problem-solving from our little friends. I especially needed the reminder that perfectionism is stupid haha, I'm always re-wording my grad school papers until they are "perfect". I feel like I need to de-condition myself from this habit as it only causes extra stress and takes me forever to finish assignments. Do you have any more tips on how to combat perfectionism in the writing process?
We write similarly. I just kind of spew it all out at once and then make edits where necessary. These points are so hard novio is and basic but so easy to forget. Thanks for the reminder.
Curious…I love this ethos in theory. What are thoughts when you do have a deadline? Kids don’t have to adhere to a specific timeline when things are due. How do you think we can reconcile adult responsibilities with the kiddo spirit?

Wish I had learned all these lessons so long ago. Keep building that body of work sir, excellent as always.
Great post and one that really spoke to me. I've been having trouble with #3 and it's been hindering me to be #2. Thanks for sharing this.
