This is my Second Weekly ‘Love Your Creativity’ Podcast Newsletter to keep myself and you focused on creativity.

This newsletter sets a 13 minute creative exercise with a full explanation of the weekly tracking where I encourage you to do an end of week think back on what has been done, produced, worked on, booked and paid for creatively. (I don’t mean you are doing ‘creative accounting”!)

Whether you are a full time painter or a 40 hours a week office administrator who sings on the side, this is to encourage you to keep creating and make the world a better place, one song, poem, piece of art at a time.

The following is what we need to track each week as a look back in brief, full explanations are in the podcast.

How many CV’s and emails did you send out for creative work?
How many creative jobs did you actually do, whether 8 shows a week, a gallery opening or a song in a children hospice?
How many auditions and meetings for creative projects?
How many classes and workshops did you do?
How much practise done that week, how much each day?
How much money made through your creative pursuits?
What marketing of your creative output did you do and what revenue generation plans put in place?
Did you learn or see anything new or worth exploring creatively?

If it is zero then dont feel guilty, just look at the coming week and endeavour to do better. Each week track these statistics and review the same day every week. Your creativity and bank balance will thank you for it!

I also have written a mini tracking tune for you to sing along to while you track, attached here for quick refreshment at moments of creative despair.. I thin I have just written my first Love Your Creativity tune (oh dear I see an album before me!)

Marysia’s ‘Time To Track’ Tune

Plus what Liz Ranken podcast advice in her interview with me led me to…. creating a mini song at the end  having whipped out a harmonica 😉 Dont worry its tucked away at the very end so you can just stop listening early ;-).

About Marysia and Love Your Creativity
I blog at least three times a week on creativity and techniques to get your art on.
Whether you are a musician, an actor or a choreographer I endeavour to make https://loveyourcreativity.com is a place to come for inspiration and motivation.

I also podcast interviews and this weekly newsletter via podcast with a 13 minute task.

The dance music I use ‘Londontown’, is a track I wrote years ago and Andrew Hyde and I are currently working on 3 remixes of it. We will be releasing it very soon as a dance track, dub step mix and bar mix.  I figured if I was going to podcast I may as well use my own tune! The other bits of music are me, my inspiration and whatever instrument is lying around!!.
