45. The Monday Break(Through) 030 - The Healthiest Designer in the Room Is Doing Less, Not More


Listen Later

What if the key to better creativity wasn’t doing more - but doing less?

In this episode of The Monday Break(Through), I dive deep into the real foundations of sustainable creativity: your mental health, physical habits, and the systems you build to protect your energy. From breaking free of hustle culture and burnout to practical ways you can rethink your workspace, your schedule, and your relationship with productivity - this is your designer wellbeing blueprint.

I’ll talk about:
• Why burnout isn’t a badge of honor
• How sleep, food, and movement shape your creative output
• Managing distractions, setting boundaries, and finding focus
• The power of rest, play, and unfocused thinking
• Designing a career that actually works for you - not the other way around

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the joy of creating - this one’s for you.

Plus: I share details about my live Instagram chat with Alex Center happening today at 18:30 CET / 12:30 EST, and how you can still enter our big giveaway to win a copy of Made by James and all of my fonts released by June 2025. Details at @thetypeconvo on Instagram.
