January 5th 2026 Monday Update - How I Lost Momentum as an Independent Artist — Distributor Takedowns& Lost Streams
What actually makes an independent artist lose momentum—and more importantly, how do you get it back without burning out or selling your soul? Most people think consistency is just “posting more,” but that advice quietly kills more creators than it helps. The real issue isn’t effort. It’s direction, feedback loops, and knowing when to slow down so the work can compound.
In this Monday Update, I break down what I’ve learned from releasing music weekly, building everything independently, and watching momentum rise, stall, and rebuild in real time. The blog digs into creative fatigue, algorithm myths, why “grind culture” is mostly bad sociology, and how sustainable output actually works. The short version: momentum isn’t linear, motivation is overrated, and systems beat inspiration every time.
