![]() Last week I wrote about using timers to get more work done. While I stand by that suggestion, I have another bit to add, make sure you take time to take care of yourself. Social media asks us what’s on our minds and, frankly, sometimes the answer is I have is that I need to get offline. In order to keep my projects all moving, I’ve realized it’s become more and more important I take time to clear my head. I’m more productive, not less, when I practice self-care. Here are ways I refill my well: · Turn off my phone · Coffee at a coffee shop · Go for a run · Make art · Journal · Take a walk · Clean up · Read! · Yoga class · Spin class · Dance break · Sketch · Write a letter (longhand) · Cooking · Baking · Go outside · Drink water Of course, spending time with the ones you love is essential during your off hours, too. Sometimes you can even mix pleasure and work, like when I wrote this post on having a family cooking competition at home. Finding opportunities to bring socializing into your work life can help with burnout, too. How about you? How do you refuel your creative well?
