What Is The Cost of Creativity?
Working in a creative mode obviously costs time and effort. It also costs time to schedule work sessions, practice sessions and eventually display (or perform) creative work for customers, artists and others.
When I procrastinate and do not participate in my work sessions, I increase the cost of my time. I put myself in a position of creating more stress about missing a session, which distracts me from working on my creative work and meeting my goals. When I do return to a creativity session, I must work through any personal irritation I’m still carrying around about missing the last session(s) plus any anxiety or other feelings about working during the current creative session. When I procrastinate or run late, my schedule is easily thrown off. I also don’t complete as much as I had planned to do.
