Why Being “Always On” Is Killing Your Creativity
Why setting boundaries is the secret to creating your best work—and how top creators grow by doing less.
Here’s a little-known truth: the most successful creators aren’t “always available.”
That Substack writer you admire? The one who seems to reply to every DM, collaborate with everyone, and still produce viral posts?
They’re not doing what you think.
The Lies You’ve Been Sold About Success
You’ve probably heard these myths:
“Creators should always be accessible to their audience.”
“Networking non-stop is the only way to grow.”
“Every DM is an opportunity you can’t afford to miss.”
“Saying no will sabotage your growth.”
Here’s the reality: buying into these myths will burn you out, stall your progress, and leave you with nothing left for the work that actually matters.
The Reset Successful Creators Swear By
After interviewing top Substack creators earning six figures, here’s the truth:
They’re unavailable on purpose.
They say no to 90% of opportunities.
They protect their energy like it’s their most valuable asset (because it is).
The result? More focus, better content, and faster growth—with far less stress.
