> For any creative hobby i think the biggest issue is not having something you want to build.
replyFor me it is. Even in my domain where I’m an expert and it’s fun, it only is if I’m working on something interesting.
What does wonders for me is to go out into nature, a beach, a lake or a park, or even a longer train ride, with nothing but a pen and notebook, while keeping the phone in my bag. When I return usually I have a few pages of ideas.
replySometimes distraction is the main issue when it comes to having ideas.
My problem is honestly that I have too much I want to build, but I don't have all of the skills I need.
replyI get stuck into this mentality of "I need to learn and master X, Y and Z before I can even start building my dream"
Would be much better served by just building whatever and learning the skill
