Anything can be creative.
The real question is where creative energy should be spent, and how it’s sustained over time.

I don’t believe creativity is unidirectional. It doesn’t come from a single project or a single focus. It comes from many places at once, and it needs room to move.

Every day begins with decisions. Not just big ones, but small, structural ones.
Do you rush straight into the day, or do you give yourself time to settle your body and your mind first? Those choices shape how much clarity and energy you actually have when it matters.

Habits are formative. They either support your thinking, or they quietly drain it.

In my own work, I spread creative effort across multiple projects intentionally. One primary focus anchors everything, but secondary projects keep momentum alive. They prevent burnout, reduce creative pressure, and allow ideas to cross-pollinate instead of stagnate.

Sometimes that means stepping away from the main task to solve a smaller one. Sometimes it means following what my brain is pulling toward instead of forcing progress where there is resistance. Over time, this creates sustainability rather than exhaustion.

This way of working applies to music, performance, systems, and long-term creative development. It’s not about doing everything at once. It’s about designing a structure where creativity can continue without collapsing under its own weight.

Occasionally, I work with other artists who want help building that kind of structure for themselves.
