3 tips to get into a creative routine TODAY!

1. Start Small: Begin by dedicating just a few minutes each day to your creative practice. Whether it's sketching, writing, or crafting, commit to this short burst of creativity consistently. Over time, you can gradually increase the duration as you build momentum.



2. Set Specific Goals: Define clear and achievable creative goals for yourself. Whether it's completing a certain number of sketches per week or finishing a creative project by a certain deadline, having specific objectives will help you stay focused and motivated.



3. Establish a Ritual: Create a pre-creative routine that signals to your brain that it's time to get into a creative mindset. This could involve setting up your workspace, playing inspiring music, or doing a brief mindfulness exercise. By consistently following this ritual, you'll condition your mind to transition smoothly into a creative state each time you sit down to work.
