ABSTRACT

This chapter addresses fears that prevent us from establishing a healthy creative practice, step-by-step method of creative practice, and a few time management tips. The fears are universal and they are normal. Some fears are personal fears, Fears about one's work and Fears about one's career. These fears are very real. Some have simple answers. Some don't. All can be summed up in two overarching themes: the first is fear of not liking ourself, which is fear of failure. The second is fear of others not liking us, which is fear of rejection. Creative practice is just plain work. It is not some genetic trait that some of us are born with. Some of us were blessed with encouragement to do artwork throughout childhood, which makes it easier for us to value it. David Allen crafted a time management system that he shares in his book Getting Things Done, The Art of Stress-free Productivity and also on.
