Interior Designer's Business Blueprint
Are you tuned into your creative energy and how it ebbs and flows?
As designers it’s part of our job to read our clients minds and also be able to have time for creative processes but moving back and forth between the two can be a challenge. Tuning into her creative energy patterns, Carly shares some great tips on how to move between heading up long strategic conversations or taking in feedback, and producing work of a consistent quality all while protecting your creative energy.
Here’s a glance at the episode:
[05:17] We talk about the need to protect creative and social energy and how Carly started this process for herself.
[12:00] Carly and I discuss boundaries and how to start working through how you really want to work with clients. We discuss how the decision on when to take meetings, how often to engage with clients, and when you want to be social can make a huge impact on your creative energy.
[18:30] We discuss context switching and how for many of us, we lose so much time trying to switch our brains between a variety of tasks rather than go with our natural ebb and flow.
[21:45] Carly and I share about how we use hyperfixation playlists to focus on creative days to help stimulate creativity and focus on projects.
[25:25] We dive into cycle-related trends around creativity and what Carly has learned about her own PMDD and how she now factors this into her schedule and recognizes how negative feedback can impact interactions during this time.
[32:30] Carly shares her self-care list she has created based on time available for reference for quick pick me ups to get into a better creative space so that they are readily available without needing to make another decision!
[38:50] We discuss how to use the Shortcuts app (game-changer!) when we are distracted to help run through a set of prompts to see what kind of support you may need in that moment, and then suggests ideas that you know work for you.
[47:00] We wrap up with a run-down of tools that can help you fight distraction, hyperfixation, and create the natural rhythms in your business to support your creative work in the best way possible.
