This hits. Especially the part about how even “good” content fades fast when there’s too much of it. We’re in a constant loop of consuming—sometimes even while we’re creating. But the best ideas? They usually show up when we let our brains breathe.
One thing we’ve noticed working with creatives: overconsumption doesn’t just drain originality—it blurs identity. When you’re always taking in other people’s visions, it’s easy to lose sight of your own. The antidote? Intentional inspiration. Instead of scrolling aimlessly, seek out work that sticks—the kind that rewires how you think.
Also, love the “consume less, create more” challenge. We’d add this: when you do consume, do it slowly. Revisit the things that move you. Let them marinate. It’s not about cutting off inspiration—it’s about making sure what you take in shapes you, not just fills you.

More creating, less reacting. Always a good move.
