My name is Nicky and I used to work in the entertainment industry for 3 years on the social strategy & marketing side before I ever became a Creator. I am obsessed with analyzing the stories behind Music, Movies, and Marketing. I truly believe the media we consume is so important to our development and how we interact in society. Growing up in the suburbs of Virginia as a very closeted teenager, I remember how isolated I felt. It was Youtube and Music that made me feel scene for the first time. Hopefully I can make someone else feel that way too <3","last_synced_at":"2026-09-16T08:21:21.083266+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/nicky-at-night-7000131"},"episode":{"title":"The paradox of being creative but lazy","slug":"the-paradox-of-being-creative-but-lazy","published_at":"2026-08-31T01:08:58+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/nicky-at-night-7000131/the-paradox-of-being-creative-but-lazy","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/nicky-at-night-7000131","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nickyatnight/episodes/The-paradox-of-being-creative-but-lazy-e3o3srb","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/f5f36100/podcast/play/124956971/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-7-31%2F430850973-44100-2-6729b11a9ad6f.mp3","summary":"It's been a long time since we did a solo video essay!!! I missed it so muchThe biggest shoutout to @Lindsiann and her video that inspired this one:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN_OGOPI92g This week I wanted to do a deep dive on the creative process itself. As someone with Adhd and a chronic procrastination problem, this is something I think about ALL the time. How sometimes, spending so much time on the planning process, creative ideas, and brainstorming can actually be a form of procrastination as an artist.I've always been obsessed with books like The Artist's Way or The Creative Act and hopefully this video gives a similar feeling0:00 - Intro 3:47 - The Perfectionist 7:24 - How to stop being a perfectionist 9:31 - The Potentialist 13:34- stop being addicted to potential 16:45 - The Strategist 21:24 - The Overthinker 24:05 - Complacency Kills Ambition 26:06 - How to stop overthinking","meta_description":"It's been a long time since we did a solo video essay!!!
