S3 E4: My Relationship With Creativity in 2020 (Part 2)
I share what my relationship with creativity was like from April to August 2020 (continued from last week, so if you missed that one, start there first), and the many ups and downs of trying to be creative and adapt during COVID times. This led to my focus on compassionate productivity, which helped me give myself grace when things didn’t go as planned, and I share a new tool I’ve created to help you in your own compassionate productivity!
