A $35 keyboard for children transformed me into a novelist
It&#x27;s wild what constraints can actually open up for your creativity. I love making videos but ran out of the time I used to have to spend on it. And so largely gave up trying. But I decided instead of complaining about it or trying to find more time to pile on some constraints:<p>- only film AND edit on my phone
- only create a movie as long as a single song track. don&#x27;t edit the song track besides muting clips of the song. 
- only spend &lt; 60 minutes on editing the video
- publish daily<p>So now there&#x27;s little workflow pauses waiting for files to transfer. It&#x27;s now impossible to spend too much time in a rat hole of an edit. Of course this limits things I&#x27;d love to achieve with it, but on the other side, I get to publish so many more ideas and feel insanely more creative with it.<p>Feeling stuck? Probably need a good dose of giving yourself what seems like arbitrary and ridiculously limiting constraints.
