How to Handle Too Many Creative Ideas
Today, I’m sharing some research behind why we get demotivated to actually make a decision when we’re faced with too many choices - it’s not you…it’s your brain.
And thankfully, there are some strategies and steps you can take to break it down, so you make a decision and begin creating.
In this solo episode, I discuss:- how we love the idea of options but too many options can demotivate us to act
- how not deciding is still making a choice
- four steps to overcome idea overwhelm and get started on a new project
