How to optimize your week for creativity

Do you ever feel like you’re jumping between so many tasks that you don’t have the space to really get into the zone?

A few months ago, we were feeling it bigtime, so we got super focused on building more creative time into our schedule. ✏️

We’ve done a few things that have helped immensely and we want to share them with you!

1. Identify your optimal creative times

We all have a certain time of the day when we feel the most inspired and energized.

During that magical time, it’s super easy to dive into a project, get in a flow, and you end up creating 2x the work in half the time.

For us, that’s the morning. ☀️

We’re super creative and productive before noon… and by 2pm, we’re really just ready for a nap.

We realized we weren’t making the best use of our days. We were starting each day on administrative tasks… reviewing design work, connecting with clients, and replying to emails.

Then, by the time the afternoon came around, we didn’t have any energy left to get deep & inspired & make great stuff.

We knew we needed to fix that, so, we adjusted some things to prioritize our magic hours. ✨

2. Restructure your weekly flow

Here’s what our weeks look like now:

This has made such a huge difference in our productivity and creativity. We’ve gotten so much more done in the last few weeks because we’re taking advantage of our peak times.

Honestly, we don’t know how we lived without it.

And one of the things we’ve done with this new creative space is launch our new website!

We’d love for you to take a look and let us know what you think.
