That Billy Joel take has me shook. Straight fire.

For unsticking one’s self try doing something completely new (but within your physical ability if you can’t cliff dive, don’t do it). For me it was curling.

I’ve had an interest in it for a long time and finally did a learn to curl a while back and the aspect of going into something completely foreign and learning a new skill (even though it has minimal usage outside the curling sheet) just kind of clicked something inside me.

I now go most Sunday evenings. And if anyone needs 40lb chunks of granite slid across some ice, let me know.

It's a checklist. Pilots don't use checklists because they're dumb, it's because they're smart, but overwhelmed. The list allows you to see everything that needs to be done, and marking things off gives you a sense of accomplishment.

I don't know if that works for creatives, but I know it's how I get unstuck.
