Why You Should Push Your Creativity by Being Stubborn
Sticking to the same thing not working may be a good choice.
When I started writing last year, I decided on a schedule of topics for specific days of the week and then expanded as time passed by. Here’s how it was in June:
- Monday: Writing (For yourself or others)
- Tuesday: Language Learning Related
- Wednesday: 4-character expressions in Japanese (on my blog exclusively)
- Thursday: Ainu Lesson (on my blog exclusively)
- Friday: Burmese Lesson (on my blog exclusively)
- Saturday: Self-Improvement
- Sunday: Self-Improvement or Language-related
In July, I realized my Ainu lessons were just translated versions of the Japanese podcast lesson I was making and it wasn’t training me to become a better writer so I took the decision to stop writing about it and switched to self-improvement or language-related articles.
It was a difficult but good decision as it allowed me to have more articles based on creativity each week.
I then decided I wouldn’t make any change for the rest of the year but, lo and behold, I have been considering doing it again for the past month or so.
