What do you make?
Do you ever feel that you create something in it’s entirety, or are you always part of a broader creative effort? Or do you lead teams that make things, and does that feel the same?
Do you feel a connection with what is created? Does it feel different to hand make a birthday card, or to be part of a production line making ten thousand?
For some of us, the act of creation is part of our work: for others, work is more utilitarian, abstract, intellectual, or technical, and we create nothing physical, but rather outputs from a system. Or we find creativity beyond work.
We have an odd connection with our hands, with craft, through creativity. Sometimes we can delude ourselves that we are in balance, and yet miss the experience of actually making anything at all.
Use your sixty seconds today to ask yourself what you make
Then consider how you feel about that.
