Creative work is so taxing mentally (and perhaps spiritually) that it is very tempting to procrastinate.<br /><br />In this, the mind is clever. Instead of fighting "the resistance" we lul ourselves into the false belief that since we are researching, buying and testing the tools for our field of creative work, it is not procrastination but "preparatory work". We are bullshitting ourselves, of course.<br /><br />I used to have severe GAS myself, but have mostly recovered. Although, I have to watch out or it might relapse.<br /><br />A good rule of thumb which I now use is to never buy a piece of gear unless I have an immediate need for it in a real project. I.e. as soon as I receive it, I must put it to use in a project that delivers.<br /><br />Anticipating future needs almost never works out.Timo Lehtinenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08689481666881650781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-81753578689067921102011-04-06T13:10:55.437+00:002011-04-06T13:10:55.437+00:00I wonder if you find this kind of thing in other h...I wonder if you find this kind of thing in other hobbies.
