Structure Sparks Creativity

36 minutes

I used to be terrified of structure. Any type of system or routine made me feel trapped… until I realized the power of being organized. Systems allow us to create within a container. They give us direction, a map to where our creativity can flow freely. This episode is an exploration of why structure is important - even for the Type B creative types! We’ll talk about why you might feel adverse to it, how to overcome the overwhelm, and what steps you can take to add some structure to your creative practice, projects, and social media content.

On this episode we talk about:

Why structure keeps you moving

How having a lack of systems fosters overwhelm, not focus

Overcoming decision paralysis

Combining the power of action and discipline with systems so you can create confidently and freely

How I use structure within my creative practice
