How do you measure creativity? Is it by the amount of time I spent writing? Is it in the number of things I produce? How do you quantify something that is not necessarily quantifiable?
All I want are some answers indicating that I am on track and that I create and produce enough content. Some people produce 1, 4, or 15 things a day. My output might be one a week but if someone is doing 4 a day, I feel like I am doing nothing in comparison. What even is enough?
How did we get here trying to quantify and monetize everything we do? Why can’t the things we want to spend time on just be that - a thing we like to do?
Even this feels like a useless grab at making myself feel productive and creative. This thing that I am writing to express my frustration isn’t creative enough or profound enough. Why am I inclined to try so hard to create something meaningful?
I guess if I don’t create something meaningful, all of this might be a waste of time. So even if this lil conversation with my thought is an attempt at meaning, I hope this does what I want it to do. Hopefully, I can look back at this and see my creativity.
