Systems make life easy. However, building one recklessly will cost you.

As a busy creator, the systems you build or model yours after must accommodate the many moving parts of your life, or else it’ll feel like wearing undersized or oversized pants and expecting them to be comfortable.

Blindly applying systems designed by others will:

  • Get you down
  • Hurt your flow
  • Cause an imbalance
  • Leave you scrambling and confused
  • Increase your frustration and stress levels

But by wearing the right-sized pants and creating systems to suit your needs and support your goals, you'll:

  • Create art joyfully
  • Show up as you desire
  • Feel more comfortable
  • Find life-work-creative balance
  • Live a stress-free and fulfilling life

So, instead of recklessly building systems and hurting your flow, design one that fits and supports your unique circumstances 100%.
