This is the class to boost your productivity and finally find the time and space for that side project you always wanted to make.

It's all about creative planning:
Together, we are going to fill up some worksheets and make a plan, to optimize your time and get a structure to accomplish your goal.

If you’re like me, you are fighting to find space between work and the rest of your every-day-life, to focus on a personal fun project.

This class is for anyone who struggles to find some extra time to dedicate to a creative side project.
Whether you are a creative professional, who wants to make art for yourself other than the clients, or you are simply trying to find time for your new creative hobby, this class is for you!

I will share with you tips&tricks to organize your schedule and dedicate time to progress with your personal project.
We will go through some exercises to define your priorities and the best strategy to tackle your project planning.
You’ll learn how to optimize the resources you already have and how to stay motivated.
Finally, we’ll also cover how to adjust and be flexible with your schedule, when life happens and your plans change with it.

As a freelance artist, it is hard for me to only work for client commissions: I feel the need to dedicate some time to personal projects.
Over the years, I learned some tricks that allow me to keep exploring and having fun on the side.
This can be a valuable space to explore, experiment with new techniques, enrich your portfolio or even consider a career change.

I personally like to balance my “main job” & client commissions with personal projects:
Alongside client commissions, I managed to make a short animated film, self-published zines, riso print experiments, animated stickers, Instagram filters, fun collaborations with fellow artists and friends… and other small or bigger personal projects.
Personal projects are good to keep playing, trying new things, and collaborating with friends, but can also lead to new opportunities, attracting different types of clients, or allowing you to discover a new passion.

Planning can be scary, but through this class, I hope you will learn to have fun with it, be more forgiving with yourself, and learn flexibility.

Sounds like a good plan?
Let’s dive in together.

Resources:
Together with the class, I am providing you with a workbook that will guide you through every step of the process.
You do not need any particular software to take this class. You can print the worksheets, or fill them in digitally if you prefer.
The workbook is also a flexible and evergreen tool: it will be there for you throughout the months, to go back to it, get a motivation booster or re-evaluate your schedule.
You’ll be able to use it over and over again for your future creative projects.
