49. Finding more energy for your art.
Manage episode 345516853 series 2786017
In this episode, we talk about how to leverage John Cleese's concept of the Open Mode and the Closed Mode in our creative practices. The Open Mode is when you're experimenting, exploring, creating, and saying "yes" to possibilities. The Closed Mode is when you're being critical, strategic, time-sensitive, and outcomes-driven. We need both modes to thrive as creative people, but often times we depend too much on the Closed Mode as a way of operating. In this episode, I'll talk about what these two modes are, how to use them, and how to organize your day so you have more creative energy for the projects you really care about.
