Every Summer, I have 6 weeks off. And every year I am cleaning, reorganizing and throwing stuff out room by room, and I finish projects that I've abandoned (or throw them out if I'm no longer interested). Usually, I do a chore in the morning and a creative hobby in the afternoon. This yearly clear-out really brings my mind at ease.
I'm definitely also prone to trying to cram all the creative projects in at once and trying to plan & think about them all the time, so this is a very valuable & important reminder, thank you!!
Loved this video. I'm writing a novel atm and found the same rules apply. Doing nothing and letting the brain rest makes your work much more meaningful. Thank you for sharing x
Aw, thank you for taking the time to comment 💙 Absolutely, I think most people would benefit, were so inundated with information all the time. Good luck with your writing!
Seeing a small video with this much quality is always amazing. I clicked this video thinking it was about doing more, being a polymath extera. Rather than getting what I wanted, affirmation that working more on all different projects I have music writing art ext would be good, I instead got what I probably needed more, told to calm down and enjoy life more so when I do make art I can put more into it. I think we often have to learn these lessons again and again. A few months ago when I was releasing a song a week and working on publishing multiple different books, among blogs and other various projects I burned out really badly and seemed to place the blame not on doing too much but rather on stopping. I felt so strongly that I should be able to do all that. This video really helped focus one thing about burnout and such. It is less an issue of doing too much but the lack of downtime and relaxing between it all. Anyway wonderful video, great pacing, great editing and thoughrouly relatable. Cant wait to see more from you and this channel
Oh my gosh, thank you so much for taking the time to comment! Is there a place I can listen to your music? I literally had this conversation with a friend yesterday: that we have to keep learning the same lessons over and over. And I definitely relate to being so stuck in the mindset that "resting is the problem". I truly believe we become better creatives when we step away from our art. Wishing you all the best and hoping you have a wonderful summer.
Lovely video. I do so many things, it's hard to prioritize sometimes. I don't describe myself as an illustrator anymore, but an overall creative or crafter, because how do you summarise being an illustrator, a writer, an embroiderer, a RU-vidr, a painter...? Good luck with all your projetcs!
Oh my goodness, same! We're creatives now haha. I saw your channel, I really like your vibe 💙 thanks for taking the time to comment, hope you're having a lovely summer 🌞
