Video: How is Creativity Consciousness Different from Productivity Consciousness?

What creators know about time and attention

About this video

There’s no way to be fully prepared for how setting off on a creative path will end up putting you at odds with key beliefs and assumptions of our dominant productivity culture.

Whether you are newly setting out to engage your creative passions or a seasoned creator who still struggles to explain the way you see the world to your friends and family members, it can be enormously helpful to be able to pinpoint the specific ways that creativity requires you to move through the world in a different way.

In this video, I talk about two hallmarks of creator consciousness that are distinctly different from productivity consciousness - specifically our relationship to time and the apertures of our attention.

We also explore what happens when we bring productivity consciousness into our creative spaces and why these mindsets prevent us from experiencing the full joy, mystery, and play we crave from the creating process.

Please ENJOY!
