Designing your life for peak creativity

Influencer Insights Newsletter #99

Hey there,

Ever feel like you’ve got everything to say, but no idea how to say it? Or worse, the ideas aren’t flowing at all? 😬

Here’s the thing: Creativity isn’t some magical gift you wake up with. It’s a skill—a muscle, that you can train and design your life around. And as an influencer, it’s the ultimate edge.

Today, I’m breaking down 4-5 practical steps to help you unlock that creative flow, work smarter (not harder), and make boredom your secret weapon. Sound good? Let’s get started!

1. What’s your default when you’re bored?

Think about it. When boredom hits, what do you do? Scroll TikTok? Watch Netflix? Procrastinate by “researching” ideas?

Here’s the trick: Instead of consuming, create. Bored? Film that quick behind-the-scenes reel. Write that caption idea. Brainstorm your next big project.
👉 Pro Tip: Set a timer for 15 minutes and just start creating. No pressure, no perfection—just action.

2. Hard work ≠ Results. Smart work does.

Have you ever worked your butt off on a campaign only to get fewer likes than expected? Frustrating, right? The truth is, it’s not about how hard you work; it’s about where you work hard.

Ask yourself:

  • Am I focusing on high-impact activities?

  • Is this content resonating with my audience, or am I just ticking boxes?

👉 Pro Tip: Spend time analyzing your most engaging posts. What do they have in common? Double down on that.

3. Are you making space for creativity?

Did you know your best ideas don’t come while you’re working? They often show up when you’re walking, showering, or relaxing. That’s because creativity thrives when your mind has space to wander.

👉 Try This: Schedule a 20-minute “no-phone” walk every day. Use it to brainstorm content or simply let your thoughts flow. You’ll be surprised at the ideas that pop up!

4. Simplify to amplify.

Feeling overwhelmed? Too many ideas, too many platforms, and too much to do? Welcome to shiny object syndrome—it’s killing your focus.

Here’s the fix: Prioritize ruthlessly. Instead of being everywhere, focus on doing one or two things exceptionally well.
👉 Action Step: Pick ONE content format (like reels) and ONE platform to crush this month. Watch how much easier things get.

5. Write it down (Seriously).

Your ideas are gold, but they’re not doing you any favors stuck in your head. Start writing them down! Whether it’s a caption, a new campaign idea, or a content series, putting thoughts on paper makes them real.

👉 Quick Tip: Use a simple app like Notion, Evernote, or even your Notes app to create a running list of ideas. When creativity strikes, you’ll have a treasure chest ready to go.
