      Prioritization

      • What are the things that bring you life, that you must fit in?
      • You can’t do everything. Knowing your limits is a powerful key to a life lived well.


        • Don't OVER Multi-task

        • Good read on this: The ONE Thing by Gary Keller


          • Eat Your Frog! - Mark Twain

        • 1. Making Decisions in the Creative Process

          [1 of 15 in Waves Pilot Season]


          As in so much of life, work, business, sports, you name it, the creative processes in which we engage involve many decisions.


          The importance of learning to make decisions in the creative process is of utmost value as well. It can save both countless hours, keep you from being stressed needlessly, and get amazing art and media out there.


          Here are a few things we recommend in the process.


          • #1 Go with your gut -- A good read on this: Blink by Malcolm Gladwell
          • #2 Create Backups -- The beauty of working in a digital world.
          • #3 Have a Sounding Board/Group -- A good read on this: On Writing by Stephen King -- Another: Creativity, Inc. by Ed Catmull
          • #4 Don’t Be Afraid -- Just Do It.
