Principlev1

Separate creative work done for others from creative work

Separate creative work done for others from creative work done for yourself, and never confuse the two identities.

Why This Is a Principle

Derives from the axiom that thoughts/products can be separated from identity (Cognitive Defusion: Thoughts Are Objects), that thoughts/behaviors can be treated as objects separate from self (Thoughts and behaviors can be separated from core identity), and that autonomous motivation satisfies needs differently than controlled motivation (The three basic psychological needs are autonomy,). This is a prescriptive principle about maintaining creative sovereignty through identity separation.

Sovereignty and creativity

Creative sovereignty means producing work that expresses your authentic vision — not the vision the market, the algorithm, or your fear of judgment would prefer you to have.
