Hi friends, in today's video I investigate what a creative life can look like when you protect the conditions that allow the work to happen.


mentioned:
Henry David Thoreau - retreated from the noise, leaned into boredom, observed nature, and allowed himself to simply be rather than constantly documenting or producing.

Ian Fleming (Author of the James Bond series) - lived his best life in Jamaica: swimming, eating, relaxing, then writing 1,500 words every single day without a miss.

Vivian Suter (Contemporary Argentinian-Swiss artist) - works with unstretched canvas in an open-air studio on a former coffee plantation in Guatemala.

2:12 What part of your creative process is actually for you?
3:48 I don't want to share my process. It's sacred to me.
5:11 You can't prepare and present at the same time
7:09 Imagine creating without thinking about content?!
9:02 What Henry David Thoreau can teach us about retreating
10:29 Vivian Suter really said: put the canvas outside
11:57 Wait… where is MY retreat place?
13:17 I'm tired of feeling like I should be documenting everything
16:07 I lose myself in the work—and then feel guilty for not filming it
18:23 You don't have to show people how you made it
19:44 Sometimes the work needs all of your attention
21:40 Ian Fleming had a whole routine for getting the work done
23:21 I think I need my own creative ritual
24:33 Routines, rituals, and retreats
26:39 I don't want to make Reels. I'm sorryyyy
27:57 That's a body of work. You don't have to post it every day.
28:07 Make the work. Share later.
