Don't worry about wasting time from "summary" of Steal Like An Artist by Austin Kleon

The idea of not worrying about wasting time is a crucial concept to keep in mind when engaging in creative work. As an artist, it can be easy to get caught up in the fear of not using time efficiently or effectively. However, this fear can actually hinder the creative process rather than help it. When you constantly worry about wasting time, you are putting unnecessary pressure on yourself. This pressure can lead to anxiety, which in turn can stifle creativity. Creativity needs space to breathe and grow, and constantly worrying about time can suffocate it. By letting go of the fear of wasting time, you are allowing yourself the freedom to explore, experiment, and play. These are essential components of the creative process. Creativity thrives when it is given the chance to wander and discover without the constraints of time weighing it down. It is important to remember that not all time spent on creative pursuits will result in a tangible outcome. Sometimes, the most valuable work comes from periods of exploration and experimentation that may not seem productive at the time. Trusting in the process and allowing yourself the time to meander can lead to unexpected and innovative results. By embracing the idea of not worrying about wasting time, you are giving yourself the permission to take risks and make mistakes. These are essential parts of the creative journey. Mistakes can often lead to breakthroughs and new discoveries that would not have been possible if you were constantly focused on efficiency and productivity.
  1. Creativity is a messy and unpredictable process. It requires time and space to unfold in its own unique way. By releasing the fear of wasting time, you are opening yourself up to endless possibilities and allowing your creativity to flourish in ways you may never have imagined.
