Measuring how much value a creative idea or endeavor has relative to commitment, time and energy needed to produce it.
## Creative Value
- Inherent enthusiasm/joy
- Self-expression/healing
- Benefit of self and others
- Lasting Impact
- Fulfillment of deep purpose
## Creative Cost
- Making Time
- Compromising other priorities
- Identity shift/Self-image
- Mark towards uncertainty
- Overwhelming Scale
- Mental Squeeze Points
## Application
Before committing to a creative project, weigh both sides. High-value, low-cost ideas should move forward quickly. High-cost ideas need proportionally high value to justify the investment.
