A creator argues that listening to too many other voices kills your own ideas. The best work comes from tuning out the noise and paying attention to what surfaces when you're exercising, showering, or driving.
Reducing the noise. When I'm not creating good stuff, it's because usually I'm overstimulated. I'm looking at other creators and I kind of arrived to the conclusion that I hear everyone, but I only listen to myself. And I recommend you do that because your best content, this is why it comes, like your greatest ideas, they come in random moments, right? Like you're at the gym, you're working, you're sleeping, you're showering, you're eating, you're driving. That's where the good stuff comes because you should hear everyone but only listen to yourself because the content that comes from yourself is whale bait.
