Empty Shelf Syndrome

Empty shelf syndrome is when those things we’ve been looking forward to – have become attached to – are suddenly made uncertain. I need a holiday. It feels like we’re in uncharted territory, and decisions are hard to make. Did I mention I need a holiday? But come on now, Bryan, you’ve got this – sure you confront uncertainty every time you create something – every time you put pen to paper and bring something to life?

This Thinkery was captured live during a series of workshops by We Are Open, for Catalyst.
