Show Notes
We decide there are deadlines and timelines for life events? Because we as humans have created such ideals. We have milestones hung all around our human existence. What happens when your life does not fit into a neat linear trajectory?
Artists by the very nature of what they do will never fit into a prescribed timeline. Art does not get created in this way and we as artists are not conduits of creativity on a scheduled timeline. This episode takes a look at how to navigate this if you are a creative.
It's always great to hear from you, so if you have any thoughts or any experiences with what was discussed in this episode, please feel free to email me and we can have a creative convo about it.

In this week’s episode I ask the question, are you a creative butterfly? Do you flit from one new idea to the next but never see any single one of them through to the end? We take a look at how we can use constraint as a way of insuring we learn to see some projects through to completion.
