As more people pour into the creator economy, they lose the idea of just being a creator for creation's sake. They forgot to make a piece of truly authentic, straight-from-the-bleeding-heart ART. We mechanized the creative process into sterility, slowly conditioning ourselves into automatons that produce rather than create.
Well, I listen to podcasts at 2x the speed on my walks : )
And, I often see productivity hacks as treating the symptoms. Figuring out ones archetypes, the deeper pattern originating from the unconscious is how you treat the underlying disease. And then it often comes down to trusting yourself and letting the path unfold in front of you. But then again this is how you become a Sovereign Creator.
I used to listen at 3x, but now started to do it less and create space for being with my thoughts. It's difficult because on the one hand you want to learn, which is important. On the other hand you want to find a balance so it doesn't get obsessive.
"You stop chasing an audience and begin to cultivate a world. A world so rich with your unique perspective that the right people have no choice but to gather." -- a beautiful legacy. We're all challenged to build one. This is how a content creator is fulfilled.
What a breath of fresh air to read.

Great read, my friend. Bravo.
Thanks Dustin. heART is a beautiful concept, that captures the essence of the article.
Wonderful post..have read it thrice since this morning which in a meta way is opposite of what you are saying but this is an exception. Love it
You made my day saying this, because I felt like I shouldn't publish it.
Someone out there is very happy you published this. It's me. Haha.

That sums it up perfectly Nik!

I read this and I started instantly crying. I think it's not only clearly written, but it's very much necessary for many of us.
I felt like I've been on a treadmill now for a while. This is a wonderful reminder to stay with the silence and listen. Thank you, Philipp!❤️
Thanks Vera, that means a lot to me.
We're all running on the treadmill, but we have the agency to push the pause button.
One of the hardest things for me to do: take things slowly. But you put things so well in perspective, it made me stop and think more carefully.

Fantastic read, brother.
Thank you Eljon.
