Most of us will have days or weeks when we can’t make as much stuff as we’d
like. Things get busy, we have jobs, families and lives which means occasionally
you’ll be out of time to sit down and make art. There are some simple tips you
can try to maximize the thinking, mulling, and considering time that can help
fuel your creative work. I think time allotted for musing and pondering is
highly underrated, and the tips below go some of the way in allowing for more
time these moments.
1. Read before you fall asleep
This is a classic subconscious-employing trick, used a lot for when you
really need to study and remember material. If you want to think more about your
artwork (or anything), read about it just before you fall asleep. Studies show
that your brain remembers more and thinks subconsciously about the information
you process just before going into REM sleep. You might even dream about what
you read, were thinking about or were doing just before sleep. If you’re reading
a book on creativity you really want to digest, this is a great strategy to help
recall and your own creative process.
2. Take notes whenever ideas come
Take notes. Lots of notes. No matter what time of day (or night). Give
keeping a notepad and pen beside your bed, and always carry one in your handbag
or pocket. Don’t be afraid to take notes in public, in elevators, or anywhere
the inspiration strikes. Some strategies you could try are making lists of
future or potential artwork or doing lose free-form sketches of half-baked ideas
for new works. Taking notes can be valuable in their offhanded, indiscriminate
format — sometimes they’re not important or playful, and sometimes they can be
tiny seeds of gold.
3. Make conversations about your artwork a priority
Ditch the guilt around talking about yourself too much, and think about
how much time you spend talking out loud about your artwork. It can really
help to regularly make the effort to speak about what you’ve been working on.
There’s a learning curve that comes out of forcing yourself to name things. Set
up catch-ups or phone calls with others artists to check in with each other
regarding your work. Hopefully these conversations can happen with family and
friends or co-workers, and can be used as an artistic compass to check you are
on course, on the whole, with making work.
If you can name the thing you’re doing, and explain why and describe it
well to others, it’s a good sign you’re focused and really engaged with what
you’re doing.
4. Use commute time
Use the time you’re driving, on the train, or commuting to and from work to
your advantage. Read, listen, think, make lists, or mentally check off your
progress. I know artists who use commute time to meditate and reflect on
themselves, which is another interesting strategy to try. Using commute time
means that when you do sit down to create work, you’ve often done the heavy
thinking and are ready to dive into the practical, hands-on work. It is an
obvious one, but it’s been tried and tested.
5. Don’t underestimate thinking time
When you’re not making artwork, make time to simply think. It seems like
many artworks are made after months (or even years) of living inside your own
head. Whether you’re at work, walking pets, or doing the dishes, using this time
to think hard about your artwork can pay off greatly. You can often surprise
yourself with how much you can progress you can make if you clock the thinking
hours. Realizing that this was a “thing” was one of the most helpful and
insightful lessons I learned as an artist. Thinking time is time well spent.
Try some of these ideas out and see what works (or doesn’t work) for
you.
