Schedule Life Around Your Creative Work, Not Your Creative Work Around Your Life

If you have a full-time job and work on your art during nights and weekends, prioritize your creative work first and fit the rest of your life around it—not the other way around.

I often see friends with full-time jobs struggle to make meaningful progress on their creative projects. The root cause I noticed is that they consistently prioritize socializing or other activities over their creative work.

Choose your art first—it deserves it.
