creative entrepreneurs need systems, structure + personal rituals to support their creative lives… Freedom is not the same thing as “free time.” Like a dog with a scent, one thing leads to another and another and another. You look back at the end of your day feeling unfulfilled, even anxious, about how you’ve spent your time. And, I’m willing to bet, you haven’t taken time to create. E•phem·era noun \i-ˈfe-mər-ə, -ˈfem-rə\ Items of collectible memorabilia that were meant to have only short-term usefulness such as tickets, bookmarks, greeting cards, letters, pamphlets, postcards, or posters. Ephemera in it’s physical form is often useful to artists for their creative endeavors. However “mental ephemera” can be extremely distracting. But declutter your mind, your personal space and give yourself systems, structure + personal rituals and you’ll tame the mental ephemera and you miraculously begin to “find the time” to make your dreams a reality. Really! Now that’s freedom!
