How to Set Up Routines to Support Your Creative Practice

Published: May 13, 2020, noon

The idea of a routine doesn’t FEEL inspiring or creative or free or really much fun. It feels like productivity or pushing, but that’s not how I view it.

Setting up a creative practice that is based in routine is actually giving yourself space to create, honoring your call to create, it’s saying this thing that I want to do is SO important, that I’m going to prioritize it in my life.

That IS soulful creativity; that’s honoring your creative calling.

The question is, how do you create a routine that works until it becomes a habit that you don’t have to think about (or resist), and you get your butt in the chair on a regular basis to do your creative work?

In this solo episode, I discuss:
  • Why routines and habits are crucial for a sustainable creative practice
  • The myth of waiting to work until inspiration strikes
  • Seven steps to set up effective creative routines
  • What my daily creative habit looks like
