INSIGHT

Balance Isn’t For Artists

  • For artists, the conventional idea of work/life balance is incompatible with deep creative practice.
  • Creative life treats work and play as one integrated flow rather than separate boxes.
ADVICE

Prioritize Creative Flow

  • Stay in the flow of creation for your own mental health rather than hustling to please others.
  • Prioritize continuous creation because lack of making leads to feelings of fraud and low self-esteem.
ADVICE

Be Lopsided And Laser-Focused

  • Give yourself laser vision and let your life be lopsided toward your craft until you achieve your goals.
  • Be obsessive and focus intensely on one project at a time rather than spreading energy thin.
