Ever finish a busy day and still feel like you’ve accomplished nothing?
That’s not laziness. That’s overwhelm. And for creators, it’s one of the most dangerous patterns there is. We tell ourselves, “I’ll be productive once I feel motivated,” but that feeling never comes—not when we’re stuck in endless busywork, self-doubt, and distraction.
In this week’s Creators That Crush, I break down why motivation isn’t a feeling—it’s an outcome. If you want to get back on track and stop spinning your wheels, it starts with habits. Specifically, five of them:
- Regulate your nervous system with tools like eye-scanning or meditation
- Analyze your work using the ASDM framework (Add, Subtract, Delegate, Magnify)
- Define your purpose and measure it daily with value metrics
- Practice strategic thinking with the Creator Performance Mindset
- Upgrade your operations by asking: “What if this were easy?”
These aren’t productivity hacks. They’re how creators stay confident, joyful, and engaged—especially during uncertain times.
