Rant: People think you need fresh inspo daily, but I collect ideas for months.

Building a slow inspiration library leads to deeper, more original work.

So you're telling me you just... let ideas pile up like laundry and then sort them later? Meanwhile I'm over here in a panic trying to find one new thing every single day like it's my job.

My friend tried the daily idea thing for a month and quit. It just made him anxious about running out of thoughts. Letting them build up naturally works way better for me too.

Honestly the whole daily idea hunt sounds like a recipe for burnout. I've got a notes app full of half baked thoughts that I only look at when I'm actually ready to work. Treating creativity like a factory quota seems like it would kill the fun, you know? The good ideas usually come when you're not forcing it.
