The first post I would like to share is The Art of Chasing Your Dreams by Alisa Burke. This post is full of wonderful videos full of inspiration and hope for you if you are really trying to chase your dreams.She also has a couple of post about The Art of Blogging that I think are great reads as well. Here is one and two.
I know that I am like most creatives when it comes to managing my time better and I found a very helpful post about managing your time with block scheduling from Ali Edwards. The Blog post is titles Thoughts On Block Scheduling, It is a really must read post.
I also know if you are anything like me it is not just your time that needs organization. My studio is always in need of better organization that my mind can be free from all the clutter and visual clutter. There is a great blog series that has been around for a couple of years and I have found myself revisiting it to keep me motivated to keep my space more cohesive to working in. This series if from Julie Fei-Fan Balzer of Balzer Designs, It is a week long series to help you clean up and clean out your creative space.
