# Creative momentum Creative momentum is the principle that creativity builds on itself. Once you start creating consistently, it becomes progressively easier to continue. > [[Inspiration follows action, not the other way around.

The reverse is equally true: extended breaks from creating make restarting progressively more difficult. ## References - ## Related - [[Creative Momentum - Why Most Creators Fail Before They Even Start (Article)]]
