Ep. 3: Making Time for Creative Work
Use your time wisely.
We’ve all been told this phrase more times than we can count.
We all want to do things that bring us joy and fulfillment, but more often than not, we feel bound by the ever present, yet elusive, time.
If you’re in a full-time job and are struggling with how to get your passion project off the ground, or you are someone who has nothing but time but is crippled by not knowing where to begin, this episode is for you.
In this episode we will share 3 tips that have given us control of our time, instead of it controlling us. We’ll also chat about how a hair dryer saved our podcast, how to manage schedules and priorities, reasonable expectations, and how our phones are often the number one thing keeping us from our most important work.
