the work is done for you

Whether you post every day or never, regardless of the type of art you make or “even” when you “just” do you and feel creatively aligned that way;
It’s all exactly as it should be.

It’s the story you are here to tell.
—

Over the past nine months I have witnessed my creativity shrink from doing whatever I wanted to being chained to a meticulously orchestrated content planner, making optimal use of my limited time.

Creativity had to give, because I needed more space for other things.
It was a long and strenuous process, but ultimately I hacked it.

And now that I have it all contained and timeboxed, I am surprised by how much I like it.
Unexpectedly, this planning has turned out to be a huge success.
It’s such a relief to no longer be writing by the seat of my pants.
This feels much more gentle and luxurious, like a spa.

But it does make me wonder, how is this possible?

How can someone who always allowed herself to spill the story the moment it was hot and needed to be told with urgency, how can I trade that for becoming the train conductor version, writing pieces scheduled days in advance;
And not miss any of it?

Am I even still an artist now that I run a content production line?

But the strange thing is, my videos and posts appear to have gotten better.
There is no loss of spontaneity or dullness or anything.

And I’m more consistent.
I’ve cherry picked the easiest pieces, and dropped all items that take 5 hours. Without knowing how to ever put them back into my schedule, so there was a price.

But overall, yeah!
Love it!

But then I realized that the reason I feel it’s “all” still there, is because the essence of our work and our message is never ours to begin with.
It is given.

What you call your work, is actually handed to you, by purpose, from calling,  or by some invisible Force.

Whether you have 8 hours or 2 to create a piece?
It is all the same to them.
