Partial blockage breeds creativity. Total blockage breeds despair. But total unblocking ? That breeds shallowness. If you take one thing from this, let it be this small, unglamorous practice:

More or less unblocked.

A partial block is not a wall. It’s a speed bump. And speed bumps force you to slow down, look around, and choose your next move deliberately rather than barreling forward on momentum alone. more or less unblocked

But decks are never fully clear. There is always another email. Another ache. Another doubt. The pursuit of total clearance becomes a procrastination masquerading as preparation. Partial blockage breeds creativity

Some of my best writing came from days when I felt “half-blocked.” I couldn’t access the grand vision, so I wrote around it. I wrote sideways. I wrote the boring parts first. And in that detour, I found something I would have missed on the open highway. That breeds shallowness

The “more or less” is permission. It says: you don’t have to be ready. You just have to be present. So no, I am not fully unblocked. There’s a paragraph in this post I don’t trust. There’s a worry about tomorrow sitting in my chest. There’s a half-empty coffee cup and a notification I should probably ignore.
