It's actually not a discipline problem???? 🤪


Pre.S. I'm going to be sending more emails about these new content repurposing offers over the next few weeks.

Know you're not interested? Just click here and you won't get them, but you'll still get my regular newsletter :)

Hey Reader,

There’s a fun kind of exhaustion that comes from trying to make content when you’re already burned out 😑

As a creative, you care A LOT about your work. You have plenty of ideas. But every time you sit down to write content that SHARES your work, you overthink.

You question what you're saying, and feel guilty for not showing up more consistently.

This is obviously not a discipline problem.

It's just an inevitably overwhelming place to be stuck in.

I very much doubt that most creatives are unmotivated!

We're keeping up with client work, admin stuff, creative projects, day jobs, hopefully having a life *outside* work.

AND the emotional weight of being visible on the internet.

Starting from scratch every time you make content is a lot to carry on top of that.

So it'd make more sense to get more out of what you've already made.

Instead of telling you to “be more consistent" or something naff like that...

I put together something that will actually help.

I've created 3 different content repurposing offers.

🪻 Repurposing Refresh — a quick win: 6 posts + a 2-week plan built from your existing content.

💙 Repurposing Accelerator — a month of posts, reusable themes, and your own system.

🎨 Content Co-Creation Day — a live, collaborative day to build a full month of content together.

👉 You can explore all three options here.​

It's not really to get you to "post more", but to create relief.

Having content ready to post.

Not panicking and starting from zero every time.

Feeling less pressure to perform.

Knowing the content itself is clear, persuasive, thought-provoking, action-inspiring. (I'm very good at copywriting if I may say so 🤭)

Seeing your own ideas reflected back to you in a way that shows you how valuable they are.

My aim is to turn what you’ve already created into something that goes a much further distance, and gives you a future system that fits your energy.

The outcome is really not about “more posts.”

It’s feeling understood, confident in your capabilities, and reconnected to your creativity again.

If you’re stuck in the “why can’t I just be more consistent?” loop, maybe it’s not a discipline problem.

​Have a read through the options and choose what fits your energy right now.​

See you soon,

Damon

How's it going Reader? Do you ever think about how often we are expected to do things quickly and efficiently? I've been writing blog posts in the creative industry for 4 years. Compared to other types of work, I'd say blog posts (and writing in general) are pretty undervalued. It's frowned upon to be charging loads for them because they're "just blog posts". Despite that, I can never get myself to rush through them for the sake of earning more for my time. I want to put so much care into...

Hey Reader! On Tuesday I talked about my experience with making a new website for myself, realising that there were a LOT of big decisions about branding involved, and getting stuck in with the design aspect of it (read here) Today I'm gonna share about the writing and building aspect. Website building is also copywriting in disguise As I said last time, I started out by playing around with templates in Squarespace. But I quickly got stuck because I still had no idea what I wanted the site to...

How's it going Reader? I recently made a new website for myself, and the building process was actually fairly doable! It was all the preparation beforehand that was difficult af and took aaaaages... Most advice for creatives says to not build your own website, because a designer can do a way better job of it + help you avoid the generic Squarespace Template look. Many of us, however, will choose to do it ourselves anyway. I'm not here to debate whether I recommend doing that or not, because...
