NOT WHAT YOU THINK.
Ok, I've probably eaten a little too much and maybe purchased something I really don't need (that 1/8 inch wire to attach a DVD player to my car speakers - not important when some live on 2$/day)
The consumerism I'm talking about is INFORMATION.
I can't get enough of it. Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, Articles. It seems like they come in like fire hoses.To be honest, I hold the valve. I can intake,... or not.
What does this have to do with creating?
Consuming DOES NOT EQUAL creating!!
Consuming can be good, but it can also hurt you.
It makes you procrastinate (one more article on _____ before I start writing)
It gets you tired (one more video on the next iPhone #)
It distracts you from people and priorities (wait honey, I'll be there in 2 min.)
Can you relate?
Tonight I determined to CREATE instead of CONSUME.
I got better at iMovie, making a short video for a community outreach
I wrote the a book review
I'm going to bed fulfilled. Infact, even writing this post makes me feel creative instead of consumeristic.
How are you at with balancing your creativity and consumption?
What products (web, tv, magazines, etc.) do you find yourself consuming?
Is there a good consumption and a bad one?
