So a couple months ago I realized that I tend to get very creative in the night hours. When things really calm down and the air gets quiet, I can think. I sit down at my desk and write on paper, or type on the computer, or quietly strum the guitar. I get work done while people are ending their day. It feels great.
Then a couple days ago I realized I tend to get very creative in the morning if I jump out of bed. I’ve got so much energy and if I make my creative ventures the first task of the day, they get done quickly and efficiently, and they are good.
So, basically, I have found out that creativity comes when you decide it does. There’s no waiting for when you “feel creative”. There is just waiting for yourself to say “let’s get to work.”
It’s about time I learn this, and start acting on it.

there’s a fine line between procrastination and waiting for the right moment. oh to count how many times have kicked myself, and others, for missing my creative peak. but i have to agree with you; once you force yourself to get your juices flowing, creativity and progression flop out of your mind and into your work like a big jelly-roll out of a doughnut. jesus kid, thanks for destroying my reason for procrastination.
