Time management for creatives who hate time management - an interview with Sophie Greenwood
Notas do episódio
This week Katie talks to Sophie Greenwood off of Three Beams Thinking. Sophie's a screen printer, business mentor and founder of Super Seconds Festival.
If anyone's ever told you that you can't be both creative and spreadsheety then they're LYING because look! Sophie exists!
If you’ve ever ignored your own time blocks out of pure rebellion, said yes to a job because “what if this is the last time anyone ever asks me to do an illustration project?”, or promised to do something in six weeks because you’ll definitely be less busy then (you won’t), this one is for youuu.
We talk co-working, blocking out rest, energy audits, being 163% over capacity, and why time tracking might be the secret to fixing your pricing.
