what I have learnt this week using this management tool, cooking and eating is what I do most after sleeping (and some days that order sadly gets switched round).  This is the weekly Love Your Creativity podcast,  the podcast goes into more detail but I know myself sometimes it’s great just to read the highlights, time management and all that so the main points are below For the last 5 days I have finally got around to using a time management tool that just involves a pen and paper (or a note on your smart phone). I have known about this for years but have never actually got around to doing it. Now that I have, I can report back that when I say ‘I have no time, I am always rushing around’ I know exactly where my time is spent. In my case I spent a lot of time in the kitchen cooking and eating. In fact I have spent over the last 5 days as much time cooking and eating (yes as stated I love food and my belly) as I looking at my emails, sending CV’s out and organising the business of my creativity.  I have also spent 3 times more time in organising the business of creativity than on the actual practice of my craft. So how do you do this? Well you could build a spreadsheet but that is way too anal and focused for me. I just grabbed an old A4 page a day diary and scribbled in old fashion pen what I did during the day. So I wrote the time I woke up, how long I hit the snooze button for, how long it took me to sort out breakfast and morning coffee, feeding the cat. During the day as I changed activities from getting on a tube to cooking again, to travel and time spent on Twitter I just jotted down the time. Was it perfect? No. However at the end of each day I added it up into the following  rough categories and then after 5 days totalled the lot Travelling Work on my craft Getting ready to go out Cooking/eating Faffing Cleaning/feeding cat etc Emails.CVs out. Printing scripts, ebay, twitter, Running The snooze button Blog/podcast time Sleep Actual time spent on looking at scripts Rehearsals and time actually in auditions Phone Calls. I suggest you try this for 2 weeks, I hate the idea of it but just in 5 days I am already seeing huge anomalies on where I think I spend my time and where I waste time. The snooze button and I have a committed 3 hour relationship over the last 5 days, far more than I spent practising my instruments or my voice outside of singing rehearsals, or indeed on working on text and scripts. Let me know what you learn. I hope doing it for a further 9 days will show I am learning to use my precious time better. I have been using my 13.5 hours travel time well, but I am now getting super organised about taking work and scripts etc to read on the tube. I remember Clive Rowe, the fabulous West End star saying to me that he used to sit and go round and round the Circle line to learn a script as there were no distractions, he couldn’t get on the phone or on email etc. So rather than getting upset about your time schedule, see where you can make small positive incremental changes. AiTunes rating would really help other people find the podcast so if you have a moment I would really appreciate it https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/love-your-creativity-podcast/id633181477 Tracking Your Creative Progress Here we also look at 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.   I also have written a mini tracking tune for you to sing along to while you track.Time To Track by Marysia Trembecka Plus I did a Podcast in detail on tracking and its advantages.

Some people will NEVER like what you do, so [...] BE STRONG AND WRONG This is my Third Weekly Love Your Creativity Newsletter and podcast  to keep myself and you focused on creativity. Don’t lay your dreams down because of some peoples negative comments. Some people will NEVER like what you do, so dismiss them and move on. Sure you look at constructive comments and see what positive actions you can take to improve, but never let it stop you. 13 minute task -Take 3 negative comments or criticisms that have stayed with you.  Somehow we always remember the negative comments, be it from a teacher, parent or colleague -Write them down on separate pieces of paper -Write down for 2 minutes each on how you felt and feel about these comments, and your behaviour and  actions that came out of that. Did you practice more, give up, get upset, get trashed and have a ridiculous affair with someone inappropriate, (I once had 2 funerals in eight days, the last being my godmother’s funeral and I ended up finally sleeping with someone who I had said no to for a decade – hmmmm not good), we do react from hurt and grief in bizarre ways. -Burn incense and a candle and one by one burn each paper, send prayer for the happiness of the person who made the comment and for your ability to heal from this -Or rip the paper into pieces and put in the bin -Or see the paper as tiny faded black and white newspaper crumbling to dust and throw away. -Make a positive affirmation, not a pie in the sky dream but a positive actionable move forward so if they don’t like the way you sing you promise yourself to do ten min practice every day for a week or a month. or ‘They didn’t like my art so every day this week I am going to make my art and post it online”. Make your positive affirmation an action based thing and move forward use their negative as a power to move forward. -Find the venom and strength in yourself to come back harder and stronger, refuse to lay down and play dead cos others don’t like your work. Take classes to improve where you need but keep moving forward. Dont stay in study mode either all your life, get your work out there whilst you are improving. Tracking Your Creativity The following is what we need to track each week as a look back in brief, full explanations are in the Previous Podcast on Tracking 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! Love Your Creativity.com is dedicated to all creatives trying to make great work and make a living from it. 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.

The podcast has all the full details on but these show notes are for quick reference. Learn how to find yourself irresistible, fall in love with yourself and from there the world will be a better place for yourself and others. Thus you will be able to create from a place of joy and freedom. As Liz Ranken said in our interview, you have to get the ego out of the way and let the work come through. So first thing in the morning do the following 5 tips at least (should take you about 5 mins max), ideally get Tips 6 and 7 done too! First Tip   Think specifically of one part of you that is beautiful and/or strong, your boobs, biceps, skin. Second Tip  Find one specific thing you are grateful for regards your physical health and well being eg I can bend down and tie my shoe laces. Be positive! Third Tip    Pick a specific spiritual or human to human positive thing you did yesterday for example “I was really kind to X, even though she always seem to have exactly the same problems with men, I listened and was compassionate”, or “I was honest and clear with her about her choices of consistently unavailable men” Tip Four  On a creative aspect or in work and life think of something you are proud of. ‘I struggled to get my degree but I got it’, ‘I made a phone call I didn’t want to’, ‘I paid off and closed my credit card’. Tip Five Glen Walford reminded me of this technique with her own special twist to it. She is a great director and actress and among her many theatre productions she has directed some of Willy Russell’s plays including Shirley Valentine with Meera Syal that I saw and loved. She is an amazing director and creative who really reminded me of why I want to act, and can bring out things in you you had forgotten were there Stand in the room and say from a place of truth ‘I am very beautiful’ and believe it three times Then “I am very powerful” three times Then mix them  up, feel how your words change how you stand and feel, how the energy in the room changes as does how we change how we feel. Water Crystal Research and Interview (from 13.00)by Dr Masaro Emotu Everything in existence vibrates – see the crystal move to different kinds of music. Even exposure to negative written words (23.00) is amazing to see in water crystals. Some quick graphic clips on his research youtube on this Tip Six  Daily Exercise, ideally first thing in the morning, even 15 minutes or a lunchtime walk to the shops Tip Seven Accept a thank you or a compliment with grace. Minimum Seven days, ideally a month of doing this every day. Just remember someone has looked at you and thought about you that you are beautiful and strong, as a child a teenager, as a grown person.   The weekly tracking – Yours and mine This podcast newsletter sets a 13 minute creative exercise and then our 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.

Imagine getting a letter from the Royal Shakespeare Company saying ‘I hope you consider the RSC a good creative home for your work’ – Movement Director over 50 RSC Productions A Portrait Artist. Her painting of Michael Boyd is in the Portrait Collection of the RSC and the archive at the National Portrait Gallery, despite starting painting for the first time since school while Movement Directing at the RSC. Associate Artiste at Shared Experience Having given up the arts at school and then started taking ballet lessons while reading biology she went to become a Physical Theatre Performer and Choreographer in Award winning groundbreaking DV8 ’My Body Your Body’ & ‘Deep End’ and with Shared Experience in such shows as ‘Mill On The Floss’ Asthanga Yoga queen Some links to DV8 DV8 Deep End that Liz did DV8 Your Body My Body These are some pictures she has done of Patrick Robinson who is a very established actor. He was cast as understudy for Romeo for the RSC in 1980 as landmark casting and has had a 24 year span in ‘Casualty’. He also had great success in BBC ‘Strictly Come Dancing in December 2014 getting to the last five. The big take away from this  is “Just do it don’t care what anyone says. If it feels like a passion just do it cos you get better by doing it.  Go with repetition and try something again and again or in different ways but you learn by repetition” She shares Tips on believing in yourself & your creativity “Just do it .. be driven by the spiritual’, Write affirmations before starting your work eg “I paint to my highest level so I might serve and inspire humanity’ “ I do 25 affirmations  before i do anything.” “Whenever i don’t do the affirmations the difference is huge. it’s the ego thats stops so many of us, and sabotaging our work.” These affirmations settle the ego down and bring her higher being up into more elevated state and in the bliss of the moment “Failure… i dont read reviews.” Full Transcript Follows Hi this is Marysia at loveyourcreativity.com, this podcast interview is with Liz Ranken who is an everything, a movement director, a painter, a physical theatre practioner, a writer. Not only does she create in many ways but she’s also hugely successful in all of these areas. One of her paintings is in the National Portrait Gallery. She has worked at over fifty productions at the Royal Shakespeare Company and has been involved in huge amounts of ground breaking theatre and dance work in the UK. She really is legendary and wonderful. She talks about all of this in this podcast and her spiritual practice, how she really gets her ego out of the way, how she has explored doing affirmations and proper physical and spiritual warm up before she starts work which has had a huge impact on her ability to create. Her big takeaway that she keeps coming back to is “just do it, don’t care what others say. If it feels like it’s a passion, do it because you’re going to get better at doing it, so do it”. Now Seth Godin in his startup school podcasts says when he wishes when he first started working as a freelancer that he would’ve asked each client at the end of each job to give him a testimonial which he could then laminate, put in a folder and build a body of work and show him new clients. Liz has an amazing testimonial.   I said to Liz that I’d like to start the show by asking if there was any real memorable moments for her that made her think she made it [...] Fun, Inspiration, Motivation, Podcast Marysia Trembecka Actress/Blogger/Writer & Performer of her own shows no no 2 Powerful Podcasts that make you take action https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/04/19/2-powerful-podcasts-that-make-you-take-action/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/04/19/2-powerful-podcasts-that-make-you-take-action/#respond Fri, 19 Apr 2013 10:58:15 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=313 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/04/19/2-powerful-podcasts-that-make-you-take-action/feed/ 0 15 practical tips on acting & getting rebooked on low budget & student films https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/04/17/15-practical-tips-on-acting-getting-rebooked-on-low-budget-student-films/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/04/17/15-practical-tips-on-acting-getting-rebooked-on-low-budget-student-films/#comments Wed, 17 Apr 2013 12:04:06 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=289 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/04/17/15-practical-tips-on-acting-getting-rebooked-on-low-budget-student-films/feed/ 2 Invent a weapon of destruction for Robert Rodriguez’s new short & tweet him https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/04/09/invent-a-weapon-of-destruction-for-robert-rodriguezs-new-short-tweet-him/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/04/09/invent-a-weapon-of-destruction-for-robert-rodriguezs-new-short-tweet-him/#respond Tue, 09 Apr 2013 22:44:22 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=240 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/04/09/invent-a-weapon-of-destruction-for-robert-rodriguezs-new-short-tweet-him/feed/ 0 Art is never finished, only abandoned.
