Vitamin S Deficiency

Cause: Lack of enough shipping

Symptoms: As Pressfield puts it:

“We feel like hell. A low-grade misery pervades everything. We’re bored, we’re restless. We can’t get no satisfaction. There’s guilt but we can’t put our finger on the source. We want to go back to bed; we want to get up and party. We feel unloved and unlovable. We’re disgusted. We hate our lives. We hate ourselves.”

Excerpt From: Steven Pressfield. “The War of Art: Winning the Inner Creative Battle”.

Advice: Think less. Write more.

Ship more: Press ‘Publish’. Press ‘Send’.

Finishing mindset rather than perfectionist mindset.

Ship your bad ideas to make space for good ideas to arrive. Think of it like inventory for your brain.
