What Are Your Limits? - Creative Currents #4

Published 29 days ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

Do you ever catch yourself wanting it all? I sure do—whether it’s building a pattern portfolio, writing online, publishing my second children's book, launching an online course, exploring new revenue streams, or even starting a podcast.

This is me thinking that I have infinite energy and time, but reality says otherwise.

Thankfully, a wise friend reminded me: take it step by step.

INSPIRATION STATION

Up, Up in the Sky

Sometimes I wonder what my limits are. In a world where everything seems possible, it’s easy to want more. But sometimes, like during a beautiful sunset the other day, I’m reminded to pause and breathe. You can’t buy moments like that online, so remember to look up every now and then—you might miss something magical. #nofilter

Pattern Play

Swirling Dancers

In last weeks issue of Creative Currents I shared The End of Summer Dance. Now here is a new take on it. I’ve taken the same motif and repositioned it for a whole new look. It’s incredible what a little shift can do! Follow along on Instagram for more pattern adventures.

Design Toolbox

Structured

If you’re looking to build better habits, Structured is an app worth trying. I use it to keep my morning and evening routines on track, especially when my brain is still waking up or winding down. Its clean, minimal design makes staying on top of tasks feel effortless and you get far with the free version.

Plan Big to Small

Instead of cramming 20ish tasks into your daily plan, take a step back and focus on what you want to achieve over the next 3 months. Hint: Christmas is just around the corner. Choose 1-2 goals for each month, then break them down into actionable steps. This forces you to prioritize without the pressure of an endless to-do list.
