Are you overwhelmed with the balancing act of creating art and managing your time effectively? It’s a common challenge for artists, but the solution might be simpler than you think. Here are some strategies that can help your creative workflow:

• Set a Schedule: It’s not glamorous but setting a schedule for yourself that you stick to can be a game-changer to managing your time, being productive, and creating more art. Do you feel most inspired in the morning, maybe it’s mid afternoon, or maybe you’re a night owl? Figure out what time works best for you, then give yourself a minimum amount of time each day to work on your art. Maybe it’s only 5 minutes, maybe it’s 20 but set the minimum so it feels insanely easy to achieve and then make it non-negotiable.
• Eliminate Distractions: This can be easier said than done to try to eliminate any distractions that you can that could take away from your focus during your art making time. Turn off your phone, put on some headphones, and get to work.
• Take Breaks: Sometimes we’re in the flow and hours can go by before we realize it but taking regular breaks can help you stay energized and motivated while you’re creating art. Allow yourself a few minutes here and there to take a break, stretch, or grab a snack. It’s also a great time to step back and reflect on what you’re creating.
• Schedule Your Challenges: If you’re feeling overwhelmed, break down your collection or project into smaller, manageable tasks. When you break them down into smaller tasks it is not as overwhelming & you can tackle them in smaller time slots.
