By committing to a structured approach – setting aside dedicated time, documenting my process through Patreon, and removing the pressure of perfect output – I transformed my creative practice. Instead of treating inspiration as a rare, mystical force, I realized it's a skill that can be cultivated through consistent engagement. This shift allowed me to move from sporadic creative bursts to a reliable workflow, ultimately leading to two album releases and a fundamentally different relationship with my art. 2025-03-2905 minKeep the FlowKeep the FlowHealthy Perfectionism is an Actual ThingIn this episode of Keep the Flow, I dive into the tangled relationship between creativity and perfectionism.

Whether you’re chasing creative flow or learning to let go, this episode is a reminder that sometimes 90% is good enough — and that progress beats perfection every time. Hosted on Acast.
