That’s part of the creative process. Procrastination helps you solve problems. Your brain may be solving things while you’re distracted. The distractions may make connections that lead to innovative ideas.

Also, when procrastination is part of your creative process, it is billable. Sometimes I play Tetris or read internet jokes to free up my mind. Sometimes I go for a walk It helps. It’s how I work. Just make sure you deliver the work and deliver it on time. The price or freedom is unimpeachable product.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Frightening how many don't realize these are table stakes.

Also, give yourself defined time limits for the distractions. The last 10 min every hour, for example.

So, you’ve reached the stage of your career where you care more about cashing a fat paycheck than making “creative ads”. You’d rather have the resources and free time to fulfill your creative itch outside of work than try to sell the next big idea to an 28 year old marketing manager with an annual budget of 150k. How do you make the absolute most money as a copywriter while still working a 9-5? Asking for... a... friend?

Hello hive mind. I am currently interviewing with three agencies. Pretty far along with two of them. One of the positions is a Jr. copywriter position while the other two are just for a copywriter. How important would it be to not have the “Jr” before the title? Personally, I don’t care about the title, but wonder about future employer’s?

I had a call w/ a recruiter and after hearing about the job, I *really* want it. But I’m worried I priced myself out of the role. I sent my resume/portfolio after and haven’t even gotten a reply that she received it, and I’ve followed up. I’ve been getting recruiter messages offering salaries up to 120k for copy/senior copy roles (which surprised me) so I gave 110-120 as a range on the call. She hesitantly said she thought 115 would be OK. But wondering if the salary could be the issue? Thought?
