A short YouTube video by Lennon Bone offering three practical tips to boost creativity: surround yourself with supportive people, prioritize and protect creative work, and give yourself grace to make mistakes and restart. The speaker frames creativity as deserving of deliberate care rather than sheer willpower.
So being more disciplined in your creativity this year isn't really about habit trackers or better, time management. A lot of times we want to white knuckle it and be like, I'm gonna make this thing happen. I think if you focus on three things this year, you're gonna get a lot more done creatively. Think about who you're spending time with. You want to surround yourself with people that lift you up and push you forward. Treat your creativity like it matters, because it does. That means you can't put everything else ahead of it. If, even if it feels like it's the responsible thing to do and give yourself grace, you're going to blow it. You're not going to get it all done, and that's fine. When you normalize that and allow yourself to start again, you'll get a lot farther throughout the year.
