Ah, creative projects. They’re like the holy grail of the creative world.

You start with a great idea, full of enthusiasm and motivation, but you lose steam somewhere along the way. You may hit a creative block, or life gets in the way.

Whatever the reason, staying on track and completing your project can be tough. Fear not, dear reader, because I’m here to help. Here are some tips on how to complete a creative project and how working as a community can help:

• Set realistic goals—Let’s be real. You’re not going to write a novel in a day (unless you’re some kind of literary superhero, in which case, please share your secrets). Set realistic goals for yourself, whether writing 500 words daily or painting for an hour a week. By breaking your project down into smaller, more manageable chunks, you’ll be more likely to stay on track.
• Hold yourself accountable—Accountability is key to completing a creative project. Find a way to hold yourself accountable, whether telling a friend about your project or creating a public accountability tracker. If you know that others are watching your progress, you’ll be more motivated to stay on track.
• Take breaks – Creative burnout is real, and it can be tough to stay motivated when you’re feeling burnt out. Take breaks when needed, whether going for a walk or taking a day off to binge-watch your favourite TV show. Just make sure you’re not using breaks as an excuse to procrastinate.
• Join a community – Working as part of a community can give you the support and encouragement you need to complete your project. By joining a community of like-minded individuals, you can share your progress, get feedback, and find motivation when you need it most.
• Celebrate your progress – It’s important to celebrate your progress, no matter how small. Take time to acknowledge your achievements and give yourself a pat. By celebrating your progress, you’ll be more motivated to keep going.
