About this listen
Designers often think they need more talent, better tools, or the perfect strategy. But what if the real issue is attention?
In this episode, we explore why attention is one of your most limited creative resources and how splitting it between fear, comparison, and pressure quietly sabotages your work. Drawing from psychology and neuroscience, we talk about why mindset gets in the way of clarity, why overthinking blocks creative flow, and how focused making changes what you see and what you believe is possible.
This conversation is for designers who feel capable but scattered, creative but stuck, and who sense they are missing something they cannot quite name. Paying attention is not just a productivity skill. It is a creative advantage.
