This week, we’re focusing on the benefits of building a creative routine. Establishing a consistent routine can help you stay productive and inspired. It can be counter-intuitive to create a schedule as a creative as mostly we want to do what we want and when we want it. However, a regular creative routine helps you establish discipline, reduce procrastination, and foster continuous growth. Find a time and environment that works best for you, and make creativity a daily habit. This is an absolute personal activity because what works for me, will perhaps not work for you.

Inspiration Corner: I do my best brain and admin work in the morning when I have just rolled out of bed with coffee in hand. I spend about 2 to 4 hours a few times a week dedicated to behind-the-scenes activities. This means that by 10 on most days, I am diving into my creative world and wood-burning new commissions or items for markets and events.

Creative Challenge: Create and stick to a creative routine. Here’s how:

• Set a Schedule: Choose a specific time each day or week dedicated to your creative work.
• Create a Space: Designate a space where you feel comfortable and inspired to create.
• Eliminate Distractions: Minimize distractions during your creative time to maintain focus.
• Be Consistent: Stick to your routine for at least a month to build the habit.

Resource Recommendation: Explore resources on building effective routines. Books like "Atomic Habits" by James Clear and "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg offer valuable insights into forming and maintaining productive habits. Additionally, online articles and courses on productivity can provide tips tailored to creative routines.

Building a creative routine can transform your practice and help you achieve your goals. Embrace the discipline, enjoy the process, and watch your creativity flourish. Stay wild-hearted and make creativity a part of your everyday life!

Cheers,

Petra Monaco
