Ryan and I chatted about being 2 months out from our New Years Goals and seeing where in some areas there has been progress and in others a dark failure. I know I am not alone, but  being in my gym I can see how much quieter it is now that the January Gym Resolution has faded away for lots of people. I always give something up for  Lent, as my father is a Polish Catholic, my mum an English Protestant and I am a Buddhist. Since I was a teenager all three of us  have always given up something for Lent, my sister just thinks we are mad.  Traditionally early Christians gave up things for purification and enlightenment in the 40 days before receiving baptism to convert to Christianity. I do actually find peace and indeed purification and enlightenment as I strip away each year some habits for 7 weeks, my life always moves forward and I learn something new. Last year I gave up sugar, alcohol, reading fiction books and men that were bad for me (the last one was the one I failed on, though it did provide some amusements as my ex kept yelling ‘I am not bad for you!” when I refused to see him ;-)) In giving up the alcohol, men and reading I ended up with lots of spare time which I filled with gym, reading non fiction, opening my mind and thus starting my own blog and my podcast. Lent starts Wednesday 5th March 2014 this year. This year I am thinking about cultivating new positive habits rather than just giving up things as I always start again with the old habits when Lent finishes. I want to try and implant as a creative, a proper business day routine, so sitting at my desk at 9am to do work for 4 hours as if I was  paid to do so. I know auditions etc get in the way but the idea of a 4 hour per day focused work when I am not on set seduces me into the idea that I would get letters sent out, be more on top of everything, keep up to date with everything such as chasing expenses etc. Currently by the time I sit down to do work; after a late night, breakfast and possibly the gym it is often lunchtime and then I have to dash out an hour later. Ryan says what you focus on is what improves so cultivate and build habits that take you where you want to go is a much more positive place than the negativity of giving things up to improve your life. For example in the gym don’t think that you hate your body so you have to be in the gym to lose fat but to be there to do more pressups, getting stronger etc. So  Ryan, when he gave up smoking instead of giving up, he tried to make his mission instead to build great health so juicing veg and going for longer walks. I talk of the joy of being free and louche, on set filming last week with wine glass in hand and cigarette in the other, it is fun to be free without boundaries but I do know that the good habits are the way forward. (I don’t actually smoke but my character did and having that cigaretter dangling whilst I was suitably made up as a woman in the 1950s felt very decadent!)  After many years of giving up things for Lent maybe I won’t give up anything but start something instead. Ryan says Don’t deny yourself but cultivate what you need more of to get what you want. If you want to build a great client base, rather than look at what to stop doing, maybe take a new course or look at what has got you great results. Ask what works Do more of what works that gets you the results you want. What can you add to your life and to your toolbox to cultivate what you want (For example I know if I learnt to touchtype properly it would help.) I got an iPad finally after years of wanting one but not seeing why I needed one and I was on set  filming a commercial last week. I had a scene at 10am and then not one til 6pm as there was a change of location, so I could just grab my iPad from my handbag and do lots of work, so now I can grab moments to be more productive.

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.
