I came across a very interesting quote from Robin Sharma: “Creativity comes in seasons. There’s a time to harvest your ideas. And there’s a time to let the field sit fallow.”
From my experience I concur that there are times where I am very creative, and other times where I rather gather material and let my creative spirit rest. It is some kind of rhythm that was until now imposed by my energy level.
It also means that it is all right to have periods of lesser productivity, of resourcing.
There might actually be several rhythms embedded in each other: a daily creativity rhythm, with a specific time of the day more suitable; a weekly/monthly rhythm; and a yearly rhythm. All those interdependent rhythms can merge together into a variable, personal and natural rhythm.
It is one further step to organize this rhythm voluntarily like Robin Sharma suggests. I find the suggestion quite worthwhile and worth trying. And you?
