Monthly reflections for thoughtful creatives from author Samantha Garner, a creative advisor for introverted or ND creatives. Learn more here.
As a creative person, you’ve probably heard advice about the importance of sticking to a routine. I get it – routines can help us stay on track with our goals. But I also know that routines can feel prescriptive and overwhelming to some. I’m one of those people!
The good news is: there’s nothing wrong with your brain. It’s just that the advice you’ve been given didn’t align with the realities of you. If your creative energy doesn’t play well with routines, this guide is for you!
I created a three-day guide to help you identify your creative rhythm. I believe that consistency is important in creativity, but consistency looks different for everyone. “Creative Rhythms, Not Routines” encourages you to think about emotional check-ins and listening to your body. You’ll get prompts and opportunities for reflection, and you’ll feel more confident about about why slow doesn’t mean lazy.
