Have you ever noticed that you feel most creative when you have a million other things going on? That’s what I call “procraftination.” A hybrid term borrowed from a friend of mine that combines procrastination + craft to mean that you put off work to take on creative projects. I believe that this happens because our mind is engaged and it’s hard to contain creative ideas and the energy that comes with them. Many artist-types struggle to stay focused and when you don’t want to do a task, art making and crafting seems even more enticing.
Have you ever experienced procraftination? How do you stay focused on the task at hand instead of getting derailed into making art?
