Creatives, you need to figure out your 3 core routines

We are far too eager to sacrifice our well-being for the sake of our creative projects. To prevent that, we need to nail down the routines that takes care of us first.
I don’t think there’s any shame in having unfinished stories, if the endings need time to percolate. Life’s one big unfinished story, after all! It’s when those stories are calling to you, begging to be completed, that it’s highly satisfying to get them done. All the best with it.
Oh, and I like idea of the 3 routines. I’m sorely in need of prioritising exercise, so this was a good reminder.
Sometimes things aren’t meant to get finished - I tell myself to justify having so many unfinished things haha

"I have 26 unfinished stories.
If I’m to include my novels, it will be 31 unfinished stories."
This is me crying salty tears of empathy.
