As creatives, we’re never short on ideas—our notebooks, sticky notes, and voice memos prove it. The challenge is finding a structure that protects time for our own creative work, not just everyone else’s priorities.

In this episode, I share the workflow shifts that helped me move from overwhelm to consistency, including:

* Blocking time for your creative work like it’s a client

* Matching tasks to your natural energy rhythms

* Using a weekly framework instead of endless daily lists

* Creating containers for your ideas, with flexibility inside them

This isn’t about hustle or perfection. It’s about building a rhythm that protects your ideas, makes room for your voice, and helps you go from idea to impact—without burning out.
