Why We Stop Doing the Thing We Started

🎙️ The Creative Life Episode 49: Why We Stop Doing the Thing We StartedThis week, I’m exploring one of the hardest parts of creative life — why we stop doing the thing we started. Every project begins with excitement and momentum. Then comes the middle, where time, distraction, and doubt creep in. The work that once flowed starts to feel heavy, and the question becomes how to keep going when the spark fades.Recorded in one take from my studio in Berlin’s old power station, this episode looks at:why projects lose energyhow to find your rhythm againwhat it really means to finish the workIf you're struggling to finish something you've started, this episode is for you. I know this state very well—not just from the six documentaries and six albums I completed, but from the many projects that fell by the wayside. Today, I share everything I've learned from both sides of the struggle, drawing out the universal lessons for your own creative journey.As ever thank you for being here,Jim KroftLINKS📬 Substack - The Creative Life Newsletter https://www.jimkroft.substack📺 YouTube https://www.youtube.com/jimkroft🎧 Spotify Music: spoti.fi/4aHoI0Y📷 Instagram: https://bit.ly/3Scy6S3🎙️Podcast: https://bit.ly/3OycQVO ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
