Overthinking How We Treat Content Creators
As I browse online spaces, it seems like many people seem to be utterly confused about what it means to be creative. Creativity, as well as art, gets divided into two categories – good and bad, worthwhile and a waste of time. Honestly, it breaks my heart. So many creative people choose to stay inside…

Color Inspiration: Moods of the forest
I’ve loved a good hiking trip for as long as I can remember. My favorite way to hike is in a mountain forest. Some areas are dark and some are full of light, some are gloomy and mysterious, and some are bright and vivid. Sometimes I’m lucky to come across a river or a fast…

Music Inspiration: Work From Home
I love deep house. I love how it takes me places without being too invasive and how it makes me flow and feel grounded at the same time. So here’s another playlist that I’ve created. It’s lighthearted and it’s fun. You can work or study to it. You can also dance or get ready for…

Music Inspiration: “Another Late Night” Instrumental Playlist
Sometimes I still can’t wrap my mind around how magical music is. Music makes us feel a full specter of emotions. It changes mood in an instant, and you can use that power to your advantage. When I was in college, I used to seek out random playlists on Youtube to learn about new bands…

Sometimes I have to remind myself that not everybody out there is an introvert like me. It’s a funny concept, yes, that people are indeed different and that they behave in different ways.

How I Took Responsibility For How Much Money I Made
I’ve been making my own money for years. I had my first official job when I was 17. I was cleaning the streets of my hometown for a month to earn $200 (that was a standard entry-level salary at home). I made my very first money at the age of 7 when I was in…

I’m a Full-Time Freelancer!
I’m a full-time freelance writer now. Yay! How come, you ask? You’re right; there’s always a story. Usually, it’s a dramatic and inspiring job-quitting saga, or moving-to-a-new-place gritty tale, or coming-of-age self-discovery journey. In my case, however, the story is boring as hell. I live and work in a seasonal town that simply doesn’t have…

You’re Not Lazy. You Simply Don’t Have The Right Tools. Yet.
Being a solopreneur is exhausting. In the world where content is the king, the workload gets more and more ridiculous. Some people (OK, it’s mostly only Gary Vee) go as far as claim that quantity is more important that quality. I used to be offended by that notion, now I reluctantly tend to agree. This…

Now you know what I did last summer
Happy Labor Day everyone! Now that the summer is officially over, it’s time to tell what I’ve been up to, and why I’ve been away from the Creative Overthinker blog. On top of having my seasonal retail job (hello, #CapeCodLiving ), I started a writing business. I write blog posts, product descriptions, and any other…
