Thank you for the ideas! I just read through most of your posts. I had never heard of hyper associative thinking, but that exactly how my "kaleidescope" brain works!
Today I have writer's block. My problem is that I cannot write anything but on my writing project. Time spent on anything but the project feels as tine wasted. Especially when I have worked well in a day or two, my mind becomes rigidly focused on the project only. If world war 3 happened outside my door, I would probably not go to check until I had finished up whatever chapter I was writing on, and probably not then either. This way I withhold myself from other creative work that is as important as writing, but that not directly has a measurable impact on the actual project. So. I tried the timer. It worked! I got out of the brain loop and did something completelycreative and "unnecessary"! And this is so, so, so good! And wil eventually help me getting fresh ideas when I go back to the project again Thank you! This post was right on time!
My biggest struggle is overthinking how to make the result as awesome as it looks in my head. Timer sounds great, it’s been on my mind for a while and I feel ready to try it, maybe now when the Easter holidays come around and I won’t feel bad for spending time on a hobby.
Another idea I’ve been meaning to try for ages is to sit down with the intention of paint/write something ugly, to take the pressure off.
