Flow is a mental state in which your creativity simply…flows. And part of flow is focus. When you are in flow, you are completely focused on the creative task at hand. Many people even lose track of time because they are so absorbed in their creative work and energy.If focus is part of flow, then it makes sense that inability to focus might be a sign that your creativity is blocked. If you find that you’re easily distracted, a creative block could be to blame.

How to get over a mental block
If you find yourself facing a mental block at work, there are many ways to improve your focus and output. The list below is not an exhaustive account of how to get over a mental block but details some of the easiest ways to do so.
1.Break down the project
One of the best ways to get over a mental block at work is to break down your projects into smaller tasks and activities. If you’re overwhelmed by the project’s size or how much you have left to do, ease into making progress by tackling the smallest possible tasks first. Wrike’s collaboration workspace helps you break down your projects using a simple list, table, Kanban board, or Gantt chart.
2. Declutter your workspace
If your work environment is cluttered, your mind may be cluttered as well. The cleanliness of your workspace can affect your thinking and performance at work. An organized desk helps you find and reach your tools without interrupting your flow.
3. Take a break
If you’ve tried unsuccessfully to work through a mental block, the next best thing you can do is take a break. Try some unrelated activities like solving a crossword, washing dishes, or talking to a friend. Breaks help to reset your mind and connect the dots. You could even take a nap to allow your subconscious to work through the mental block.
4.Get an outside perspective
Most times, mental blocks are caused by getting stuck in your thinking about an issue or project. Exposing yourself to new ideas gives you different perspectives and solutions for your work. Try reading articles, talking to others, and doing some research online. You can also get over mental blocks by using templates to guide and outline your work. Wrike’s creative brief template, for example, helps creative professionals and agencies set expectations, define project goals, and start projects on the right foot.
5. Control your inner chatter
If you pay attention to your inner monologue, you’ll notice the thought patterns that block your progress – fear, perfectionism, impostor syndrome, or even a combination of several emotions. When you know what these thought patterns are, you can tackle them. Exercising, meditating, and journaling are great ways to become more mindful and control your inner chatter.
6. Improve your skills
Feeling inadequate is one of the main reasons why people experience mental blocks. If you feel unprepared for a project, you should take time to research, learn, and practice. Over time, you’ll get comfortable enough to overcome mental blocks and perform better at work.
7. Reduce stress
A daily schedule can help you reduce stress. Knowing what you have to do, reduces the need for decision-making. In turn, this eases mental fatigue and improves your efficiency. Keeping your work and workspace organized also helps to reduce stress and workplace anxiety.
8. Compartmentalize your work
Compartmentalizing your work and setting early deadlines for critical tasks alleviates the mental blocks that can come from feeling overwhelmed with too much to do. Wrike’s project management tool provides both work and personal spaces for you to organize and schedule tasks alone or with your team.
9. Use your fear positively
If you believe you will fail before even starting a project, you may self-sabotage or perform poorly, creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. Utilize your fear by preparing for adverse project outcomes, as well as positive ones. When you’re aware of all that can go wrong, you’re better equipped to deal with it, especially in the project planning stage.
10. Rest
Resting is one of the best ways to maintain mental health and overcome blocks. Getting a regular 7-9 hours of sleep every night keeps your mind sharp and ready. If you push yourself relentlessly, your exhausted brain will throw up mental blocks.
Our speech
A creative block might seem like a lack of creativity, but it can be happen when there is “too much” of something: ideas, work, appointments, activities, responsibilities, etc. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, there’s a good chance you are experiencing a creative block, too.Irritability
Get to know your weekness
Creativity is fueled by emotion. Our best creative efforts are born from our most powerful emotions. So what happens when emotions get blocked? Creativity does, too.Overwhelm
How to build your creative mind
When I am creatively blocked, it often shows up as irritability. I might be impatient with my family, short with my employees, angry at the “idiot” driver in front of me, or even just negative about myself. On those days, my irritability clues me in to the fact that something is blocked.
