Try one new _creative_ thing this week [Issue 027]

This week's freelance tip:

Try one new CREATIVE thing this week.

Parameters:

  • Pick a new style, technique or plugin you've never tried

  • Watch no training videos or just the bare minimum to get you started

  • Give yourself at least 30 min to make and explore

Why? Trying new creative things:

  • Expands your mind

  • Helps you develop a bias toward action (vs inaction)

    • 1,000 hours of tutorials watched ≠ you becoming a better artist

    • 10 tutorials + 1,000 hours of practice = you becoming a better artist so much faster

Bonus:

  • Share whatever you make on LinkedIn

  • Even if it's not amazing, you'll have a story to tell about trying new things

Can't wait to see what you make!
