Rather than trying to force yourself to do certain creative activities because they’re next on the to do list, a more sustainable approach is to choose the activity that fits your current capacity.

That’s where the Energy Compass comes in handy.

Here I’m going to share with you a basic version of my Energy Compass tool. If you want more detail on the different creative directions, and tools to help you tailor it to your creative projects, along with a range of other resources to support a sustainable creative practice, you can download the Creative Fix Toolkit.
