On this installment of The Rise Of The Creative Podcast, Winston Ward steps into studio to speak about creating your free time. Creatives have a tendency of wanting to work overtime or spend time on things that aren't really serving their purpose. Winston urges you to only focus your time on things that directly provide financial gain to assist in your creativity or things that provide professional/creative growth opportunities. By deciding only to commit to these things should free up time for your self and for your family/loved ones. What do you like to do in your free time? Let us know on Instagram at @RiseOfTheCreativeNYC Let's keep the conversation going!
