As a full-time employee at work and a part-time writer at home (among other unofficial titles my wife has for me, like: plumber, tech support, doctor, astrophysicist, etc.) like you, I suffer from a lack of time. Or at least the *feeling* that I never have enough time. I know we all get the same 24 hours per day (see: astrophysicist), but they must be immortals, right? 🧛♀️ ¶ One of the things that helped me out—when feeling down about this struggle—was recently listening to my very first Spotify podcast so far It’s from Amie McNee’s (@inspiredtowrite) "Unpublished" podcast, titled “Rebelling, Reprogramming and Rebirth with Brooke Solis.” (@brookesolis). 🎧 In it these two incredible women discussed their thoughts, feelings, and philosophies on art: creating it, living off of it, and the culture surrounding it. 🎨 ¶ One of the big take-aways from listening to it was: I don't have to work like everyone else. Don't bring the arbitrary 9-5 mindset into your creative pursuits. Figure out how you work best and do that. 🤯 This was appropriately mind-blowing to me because the way I tend to get away with working—short bursts of creativity and long rest periods—looks a lot like slacking or procrastinating. While long, focused work sessions and short breaks allow me to too-easily get distracted or interrupted. ¶ As always, there isn't enough room here to talk about it—but there is on my blog! (ASITD.com) 😃 Head over there for additional words (and unlimited character limits) on this subject and the several others I've covered there, now. ¶ Are you always running out of time to complete the things you want to do? Do you have any tricks that help you get things done?
