In this podcast about getting unstuck as a creative person, I had set myself the target to make one episode a day. With no end in sight, I inevitably tripped up and failed. Here’s why that’s absolutely fine, and a reminder to look past the simplistic headline of “I failed” and understand why you can now move on, much the better for it. I’ve started many projects that then arguably failed, and I’m quite glad they did. This is the last episode in the first series. I’ll continue making my vlog on my YouTube channel, look for my name: Andri Søren. Go get yourself unstuck!

I once heard that Barack Obama kept just two suits - grey or blue - meaning that he could just choose one or the other and get onto more important decisions. Steve Jobs just had one outfit. What they were doing was taking a few decisions out or simplifying them so that they could avoid losing any mental energy on them. I’ve been doing the same by organising my week in such a way that I don’t face decisions about what to do on any particular day. I’ve also reduced my wardrobe! Applying this principle to various parts of our lives really can make space for other things, and reduce the decision fatigue that seems to be overwhelming so many of us. Go get unstuck!

The last two weeks I’ve achieved more than in the last two years. By this I mean those projects I cared, thought and talked about the most. I actually can’t tell you exactly what came over me. But I can tell you this. It feels great. Now, I’m a firm believer in taking a brief look at the risks involved in doing anything, well, risky, but ultimately everything is a judgement call in that respect. Taking a hold of our passions in life and giving them some oxygen and giving them a chance is a risk worth taking. Just like before jumping, you have to let go of something else. It’s Now or Never. Go get yourself unstuck.
