Most stickiness sucks.
Gum on your shoe.
Not moving up at work.
Deciding between movies with friends or date night with your siggo.
As often as I write about avoiding getting stuck, there is one stuck that’s a good sign.
It’s the creative sort of stuck. After hours of concepting, thinking of ideas, and struggling to improve them you get stuck.
That’s a healthy stuck because it doesn’t mean you’re stuck; it means that you’ve made it through the hell of all the bad ideas, the easy swings, the cliches and everything anyone would expect you to come up with.
This is the stuck that when you notice it, it should be fuel to go beyond it.
After this kind of stuck, it’s all up from there.
Stay Positive & Go Ahead, Get Stuck, But Then Keep Going
