Ready for another day of work, yet not feeling it. So many valid reasons to be in that situation… yet also having due dates and commitments to meet. Sometimes the work is rewarding and the outcomes too, people liking what you do, paying you for it, it’s all awesome.Yet still…sitting there, ready to write, draw, code…and Just. Not. Moving. Or distracted.Sometimes we find it works if we make a game of it. Some kind of reward or consequence waiting for us at the end of the workday. A little challenge we give ourselves.Sponsors for this episode Baron von Bear Guitar Fretter Lean Into Art Discord Thanks to our top Patreon supporters Cameron Callahan Shauni Redfearn Retro Outro Robert Clemmons jr.

We’ve all been there--you start out with the promise of a new day, a reasonably curated to-do list, and a commitment to make your art. And suddenly you look at the clock and it’s the end of the day and all you have to show for it is seven or eight little piles of unfinished good intentions. This happens to all of us. Whatever your skill level, it’s super easy to get lost in the various tasks that go into making art. And for good reason--not only is art a series of complex tasks, but we’re often performing the tasks in chunks of time either stolen from other commitments, or in the spaces between emotionally and physically expensive commitments.Sponsors for this episode Baron von Bear and the Case of the Two-Faced Statue Rob's Listening Like a Coach workshop Lean Into Art Discord Links mentioned: Lucy Bellwood's 100 Demon Dialogues Thanks to our top Patreon supporters Dave ‘Sri’ Seah Katherine Sugrue Kelly Ishikawa Rachel Ross Ashley Knapp Connect with Jerzy and Rob Jerzy on Instagram Rob on Instagram Lean Into Art on Twitter

And old saw we haven’t used on the Lean Into Art Cast in some time is “limitations breed creativity.” What we typically mean by this is that limiting one’s choices in a creative endeavor removes ambiguity and often provides a starting point. It can also present interesting creative problems to solve.But what about the tools or platform you choose? Don’t they introduce constraints as well? Can these constraints enhance the work, or are they a roadblock we have to work around?
