Not long enough to kill people with the lack of gravity as you hang on to the ankle of your great aunt to ensure she does not spin off into space as she left the porch door open. But if the world could stop just long enough to settle my thoughts down, I’d have time to track, plan and finish all the wonderful ideas my creative brain keeps coming up with! I am sure you identify.   ‘I am a creative, I have a thousand ideas and I don’t know how to stop hopscotching from one to another in order to get one finished, marketed and out the door’ La Croisette, Cannes, MIP 2015 Yes I know that is you too. The double edged wonder and curse of being a creative and freelance entrepreneur full of possibilities.   I keep having wild flights of fantasy of wonderful possibilities from YouTube Channels, self published novels, albums, a death showreel, getting a new acting agent, doing podcasts in Polish, French and English, doing marketing for my The Singing Psychic show. Every talk at MIP TV has me so inspired though Luze Vlogs (a 5 million YouTube Subscriber blogger) saying he uploaded 15 videos a week on a quiet week did terrify me! Everywhere I turn or read something my overly active brain throws more fun ideas. Please tell me I am not alone! Actually I know I am not. I do know what to do. I am just overindulging in the possibilities and the dramatic potential of not having enough time rather than what I do know I need to do. Then I want to have another dramatic showdown because the man I care about is not giving me the attention he has promised/I think I deserve.. before going back to the ‘I could write an album/screenplay/Pinterest board about how annoying he is and how much I want him.’ And hence I waste more time. The following is what every successful producer of work does including the below pictured International Emmys Awards (Digital @MIP) nominees and winners! They might not think of it in these words but trust some version of this happens. International Digital Emmys, MIP 2015 The 100% reliable Cure – 12 steps to getting those creative ideas up and out in the world! Turn off the tap. Plan. Focus on one project. Ask ‘What’s next?’ See what I can batch. Don’t look at anything else til you have finished that action(s). Go back to the same project. Ask ‘What’s next?’ again. Complete that necessary action Repeat the previous two steps til the project is finished and ready to ship. Market that project. Market some more. Rinse and repeat with project 2, 3, 4…..   1. Turn off the tap – no more listening to any podcasts, reading blogs on marketing or YouTube, emails focused down only to the 2 email inboxes that bring my acting work in. No more out the box discussions about what could be, no matter how brilliant the advice is. Sure you might have to go to work – in my case it’s being yummy mummy Indesit model three days a week – yes I am making fridges look good – but the project is the focus of my non model time. Indesit dishwasher Indesit hob 2. Plan – I use a weird combination of Evernote and David Allen’s Getting Things Done. However I have not done a weekly review in months so I have spent some time wresting some order back in but not going to get it all cleared as need to get to the next step. However I am determined to get back to this planning step every week, so I can whittle it down that way. 3. Focus on one project – pick one, any one unless one has picked itself with a deadline looming I have booked in with my fabulous Director of Photography Martine Woolf to shoot the first few episodes of ‘SONGS OF SOHO – The Singing Psychic’ webseries this Saturday. So this is the one project staring me in the face as it is just three days away. 4. Ask what’s next – I ordered a portable light for the camera and now[...] #AskMarysia, Directors, Filmmakers, Inspiration, Motivation, Musicians, Podcast, Writers Marysia Trembecka Actress/Blogger/Writer & Performer of her own shows no no https://loveyourcreativity.com/2015/04/02/see-yourself-bigger-ask-marysia-any-questions/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2015/04/02/see-yourself-bigger-ask-marysia-any-questions/#respond Thu, 02 Apr 2015 16:01:03 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=3424 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2015/04/02/see-yourself-bigger-ask-marysia-any-questions/feed/ 0 0:05:26 No I am not talking about you after this Easter weekend’s chocolate orgy How do you see yourself?

A parent who no longer has all the time you used to have to make the art you want? Do you see yourself as an actress or one who creates and produces as well? A filmmaker who has managed to get 3 shorts into festivals? A writer who has written in many mediums from stage to prose to film? I know that the way we see ourselves dictates many of our actions. What we think we are, we make the priority to do. See yourself as someone who produces and markets new art (in whatever form that may come be in songs, videos or books) and you are more likely to actually find the time in the corners of your life to make it happen. See yourself as someone who is too busy to create and I can guarantee that your creative dreams remain just that dreams. I have just added the hashtag filmmaker to my Twitter bio. It seems a little insane to do so but it is actually correct. In the last month I have created, shot, edited and produced 3 standalone Singing Psychic sketches and then done all the posting online etc. Once I had broken my huge inner resistance of the making and posting of the first one (including the going to bed on the Saturday night before posting worrying my dramatic acting career was about to be destroyed ;)). Each one since has become easier as I have accepted that making The Singing Psychic videos is fundamental to me developing her as a character, as a brand and also building an audience. I have to fill a West End theatre for six nights in August so I am starting now Plus I am loving doing it!! Lessons I have learnt in the last four weeks of being a filmmaker (well a very short film but still!) Each short film (we are talking 2-3 mins) has got better, the editing the cuts, the lighting. Each film I make I get braver – this one had outdoor shots and 3 locations in total. Each film I learnt something new, video 1 I stressed about exporting it so it didn’t look weird with audio/video on YouTube, this recent one I was stressing about how to put my new The Singing Psychic logo onto the video as a watermark at the end. My logo was created by my fabulously brilliant art director/graphic designer extraordinaire Martin Butterworth. Each film I have got quicker at making and editing. I have now starting detaching the audio, playing with positioning it against imported images  and not being afraid I will make it look weird and not be able to put it right! Each film I have learnt something new about social media reach. This new one I posted onto Facebook directly via their upload function as opposed to posting on YouTube then posting the Youtube link onto Facebook. I got 300 Facebook views in 20 hours and 75 on YouTube – my audience is largely on Facebook – I have over a thousand followers, 99% I know well. I need to learn more! It is important to learn what you need to know as a Just In Time process – I have been listening to podcasts on the way to my current three days a week modelling job and from that I learnt re the native Facebook video importance. I am clueless about ‘seeding’ – that’s when you let friends and possible influences know about your blog or video, so I am focusing on listening to podcasts on that subject. I would like people to see my work I mean I stayed in all Saturday and said no to dates so I could make it #AskMarysia I am also going to start shooting  a series of weekly short podcasts and videos on the various questions I keep getting on twitter, via my blog and also in person as friends and followers see how my career progressing nicely forward.
