The Ultimate Productivity Routine for Creatives

That Changes Lives.

1. The Ultimate Productivity Routine for Artists

What would it look like if you want to get quality art projects done? đŸ€”

(I’m working on an in-depth video on this, so this letter would be a 2 min version)

Here’s what mine looks like now. 👇 

1. Scratch Yearly Goals – Start with 6 week goals.

Why? Because a year is too long and hard to get right. 6 weeks? More manageable and you get many chances to course correct. 

2. Have no More than 2 projects every 6 weeks. One is much better. 

Focus is what leads to exponential results and quality work. Use it. 

3. Inform your 6 Week projects with Long term Life Vision.

What does your life look like in 3-5 years? What do you NOT want it to look like? 

Base your 6 week goals off of that. 

(Check out my goal setting post here)

And then here’s the last and most important part.

2. Two Hours a Day

Pick the key tasks from your project,

Put in 2hrs of uninterrupted work,

First thing in the morning. 

You’ll move mountains. 

Why?

2hrs of Deep quality work is better than 8hrs of shallow, lackluster work.

This is what I do to get things done.

‱ 1 to 2 projects
‱ For 6 weeks
‱ 2hrs of daily work in that.

3. Favourite Quote of the Week

“Great Creative Minds Think like Artists but Work like Accountants”

– Cal Newport

That’s it for this week folks!
See you in the next one 🙂

Best,
Kesh.
