Finding Time to Create: A Four-Step Approach
Author: Deborah Ager

What would it be like if you cleared your calendar for creative time? Do you find yourself procrastinating when you want to be creating?

My clients often ask me how to find time to do the creative work they love when they struggle with time spent on errands, work, etc.

Oftentimes, we struggle with a long to-do list and a feeling that we'll never accomplish everything. Who says you must complete the list today? What would happen if you chose two items to accomplish and then did your creative work? What would happen if you took a "day off" from your to-do list and engaged in your creative work right away?

Sometimes our mind tempts us away from our creative work, and sometimes the refrigerator tempts us! Here are some questions to ask yourself and to keep you on your creative track:

1. What do you need to do in order to put creativity first?

2. What does it cost you not to put creativity first?

3. What possibilities for action are open to you now?

4. What kinds of requests to your loved ones would help support your desire to create?
