All my yapping and I made a wild mistake in the first post.
The Secret World of Arrietty is a Studio Ghibli film, but NOT directed by Miyazaki. It was directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi.
Apologies for not fact checking, and going off memory.

On long term projects, it's never about putting in your 100% effort on every piece Or Else You Will Die.
It’s about making your 60% effort good enough.
Good storytelling is enabled by constraint. Limitations force us to come up with more interesting solutions.

Where do you stop?
We are all limited in some capacity.
Time, money, resources, location, physical or mental ability, your own interests, and a capacity for dullness.
What's important is we become the right artist for our stories, no matter the technical skill.

3) Your personal brand of laziness
Again, if creativity is a car:
influences = gas
joy = pedal
laziness = brakes
We could all be Da Vinci, if we tried.
But we don’t.

Art block is just lack of joy.
Focus on what you like, deeply understand what you don’t like (and others enjoy!)
This is where your voice emerges, as a creative.
This is essential for long term projects, where you will be the only person who cares for months and years.

2) What you enjoy
Self-awareness is key. This is your personal filter to the world, and what you train your brain to retain.
Highly prioritize being self-indulgent.
Ruthlessly pursue what you love.
Be obsessed with having fun.
Stuck? Go back to step 1. Refill the tank.

Creativity is a car, being extremely curious adds gas to the tank.
Pay attention to people, places, patterns,
and things you don’t understand.
Steal, borrow, copy, note, regurgitate, take a sample of everything neat that crosses your path.

1) your influences
This is everything you pay attention to.
The good, the bad, nature vs nurture, the decor of your childhood home, the perfume of a stranger you sat next to on the bus, a rated R movie you watched too young. We are just the sum of our memory and senses.

How we all create art and find meaning in it is as unique as a fingerprint.
In visual art, that fingerprint impression is called having "a style". It develops in 3 parts:
1) your influences
2) what you enjoy
3) your special brand of laziness
