Most of my good ideas form when I'm bored. Stories, concepts, theme ideas for films, etc. And by bored I mean staring at your ceiling and turning your brain off, not doom scrolling. Let your brain rooooaaaaam
Although rare, I love waking up with a burning urge to recreate something that came to me in a dream. The rush to write it down before the details fade, the hurried sketch to try and capture the essence of its subconscious form. Truly a high unlike any other, the raw and unfiltered desire to create.
I'm not sure what your essays or other assignments are about (and maybe they're just highkey boring idk). But for me (I also have severe executive dysfunction) I have to EXTREMELY care about whatever I'm writing/creating to even find an inkling of motivation. So I seek out cool shit to read, watch, listen to, or look at to motivate me to tell a story/make art/yada yada. (this is different from doomscrolling I swear). Seeing other people make cool stuff makes me want to make cool stuff!! Maybe this is where parallel play can be helpful too.
OR I get pissed off about something I care about. It's honestly about generating energy. I watched Drew Gooden's video about AI art and it got me so pissed off I finished a project I was procrastinating.
or also also. do some other activity/chore u on your to do list to get u into the ~grindset~
im sorry if this wasn't very helpful lol
Tried doing the whole lowercase text thing but I just can't. I love love love love love capital letters at the beginning of a sentence too much. It itches my brain so well. Please everyone use it again I miss it I feel like I get pointed at and laughed at for using capital letters. My friend asked me the other day, "Why do you have auto-caps enabled on your laptop?" I don't. I JUST ALWAYS PRESS SHIFT. PLEASE.
Sometimes I just cry cause I get that sudden surge of like appreciation of having friends and it's like omg damn holy shit yknow, yall should try it idk...
My friend and I didn't understand like most of it probably but it is soooo fun to watch with friends and dissect it together. Create your own interpretations! The shots are just tooooo pretty!!
