It can be hard to stay creative when you’re busy. Today, I’m revisiting an episode from 2019 where I answer a question sent in by Brian Mays about prioritizing your creative work:

“Priority is a challenge for me. I am creative in my day job, but I’d Love to shift what I’m doing as a professional creative to something a bit more niche. It’s tough finding time to roll with that and do the “regular things” as a professional day in and day out. I can’t remember doing much portrait drawing in the past year, and I miss it. It just never feels as important.”
