by Mark McGuinness on October 26, 2007

Time management with a dash of hypnosis – Ring-Fence Your Most Creative Time is the next post in my guest series on Time Management for Creative People at Business of Design Online. This one incorporates some of the principles and techniques I learned from my original professional training, as a hypnotherapist.

Ring-Fence Your Most Creative Time

It offers some (ahem) suggestions on how you can find and maintain your creative focus in the midst of all the demands of a hectic schedule.

If you find you can only do your best creative work in hotel rooms or with the smell of rotten apples wafting into your nostrils, fear not – you’re in good company. Head over to Business of Design Online to find out why.

I’m a Creative Director and have found that the best way to manage my time and efforts is to keep a good overall view of my projects. I created a personal Paper Assistant to help me keep an eye on my work flow and capture my ideas when I have them.

This has really helped me.

Thanks Brad, yes I agree it’s important to keep an eye on the ‘big picture’ of projects – and devote time to moving them forward – as well as dealing with the day-to-day tasks. Thanks for the link.
