Follow through on your ideas. It sounds straightforward enough. But for creatives and big thinkers alike — if only things were that easy.?
We've all experienced having a great idea or discovering a new interest that we'd love to pour ourselves into. To make big things happen. But then, when it comes time to actually doing the thing, seeing the idea through to the end, it feels like an uphill battle.?Life and work just keep getting in the way.
Whether it's the reality of an over-stuffed, overwhelmed, complex day-to-day experience, simple procrastination that we all fall prey to, or we get too excited about our next idea to stay focused on the task at hand (hellllooooo shiny objects!), we've probably wondered about today's question, posed by our SPARKED Podcast? listener, Jade, who asks:?
What can I do to see more ideas through to completion??
As a busy mom and manager, Jade shares how she feels a held back/down by the busy work of her job, and is simultaneously interested in diversifying her income by embracing a side hustle.
Her main question about improving follow-through led me and trusted SPARKED Braintrust Mentor, Charlie Gilkey, to deeper explorations and truths about side hustles, the importance of play, and how to find the time and space to nurture and express our creative impulses the right way. And, both start and finish what actually makes sense.
