Organizing for Creative People Quotes

“The antidote to this syndrome is to make friends with your subconscious creative mind. For a start, remember that it’s a playful child, and it reacts much as a child does. Joyful, passionate and happy when given the right space to “play” in. Sulky and uncooperative when not. Give it something to mull over in an unpressured way while you walk or sleep and it will almost always come up with the goods. Whatever you do, don’t pressure it with ridiculous deadlines or bad working conditions more than you absolutely have to.”
