Are you too busy to be creative?

You are just too busy to be creative. You have the best of intentions but other stuff and other people just keep getting in the way.

You would love to be creative but you never seem to find the time.

You’ve heard that some people get up early and do their art before the rest of their day starts. You’d love to do that but you keep hitting your snooze button and you don’t really get to bed early enough to get up at 5am.

There are just too many people with too many demands on your time. You don’t know how you will ever build a consistent creative routine.

Value your creativity

If you don’t value your creativity then your time will slip away in all kinds of ways and you will justify these other tasks as being important.

I’m not telling you that going to work and earning money to pay your bills isn’t important. Of course it is. Unless you win the lottery or marry someone rich you are going to have to keep doing that.

However, have a look at where your time goes outside of work. Do you have to socialise three nights a week? Does your house have to be an immaculate palace? Do you have to iron your underwear as well as your work shirts?
