Life Purpose - How to Find Your Purposes in Life

The prevailing wisdom is that to be happy, fulfilled and successful, one must discover and pursue one's 'purpose' in life. There are no shortage of self-help books and programs designed to do just that. The problem, however, is that this is utter bunk. Especially for DaVincis -- multi-talented, creative people like you. You have more than one life purpose. Frankly, everyone has more than one purpose on this planet: We serve different purposes at different ages. We serve different purposes through our different talents.

Structure Your Schedule - Be More Creative

For those living a creative life, the absence of an exte ally-imposed schedule is both a joy and a delight. How marvelous to know we have the entire day (or much of it) to frolic among our creative pursuits! Yet at the end of the week, should we survey our accomplishments, we may find them lacking. (“How could it be another month gone already?! I haven’t even drafted that chapter.”) While creative minds balk against restrictions of any kind, the truth is that some kind of structure or routine gives us the framework within which to be much more creative.

Effective Affirmations - Active is Better

Positive affirmations are still around as a self-improvement tool because they are helpful for many people. If they didn’t work, they’d be long-gone relics of the 1980’s alongside legwarmers, shoulder pads & the musical stylings of Frankie Goes to Hollywood. The problem for creative people, however, is that we get bored very easily and so affirmations lose their effectiveness in short order.

Organizational Products for Creative People

A confession: I'm an organization nerd. Call me crazy but I enjoy being able to find what I need when I need it -- be it a particular tool, invoice, ingredient or garment. It feels good to have my 'to do' lists prioritized, to know that the important things are not falling through the cracks. A well organized drawer gives me tingles. Given my tendency to be a neatnik, I adore organizational products of all description. Anything that helps capture ideas or manage tasks or impose some order on a project is a beautiful thing, in my book.

Get Organized - Creative Projects, Practices and Habits

Imagine this: you're staring at piles of items, to do lists, calendar notations and scattered supplies. Meanwhile, random reminders cross your mind -- things like, "I really should practice my tuba today", "When was the last time I submitted my reel to anyone?" and/or "I promised myself I'd start walking more." When you are juggling several talents, it’s easy to find yourself in the midst of cranial chaos. You've got to get organized to get things done.

Handling the Haters | Deal with Negative People and Jealousy

Gwyneth Paltrow is an Oscar-winning actor. She sings. She writes a blog. She cooks well. She's authored a best-selling cookbook. And in mastering so many talents, she's managed to irritate a few people. (Okay, it doesn't help that she's tall, thin, attractive, married to Chris Martin of Coldplay and gets to perform with the cast of Glee when she's not romping around Spain with chef Mario Batali, creating a book and a PBS series en route). So what does Gwyneth Paltrow have to do with you?

Creativity Lessons | Be More Creative

It was an impulse purchase...and a shining example of why I don't go into big box stores like Costco. Whenever I do, I walk out with a mega-cart brimming with items I didn't intend to buy. On this occasion, I got about 20 feet inside the front door when lo, verily, it arose before me...[insert angel choir here]...a tower of Roombas.

Are you a Perfectionist? PART ONE: Signs and Symptoms of Perfectionism

In working with creative people, I can’t help but notice that the vast majority of are perfectionists. It’s heart-breaking to watch this parade of extremely skilled, high achieving people who beat themselves up unnecessarily. Regardless of the degree of perfectionism, it’s painful. Perfectionists are rarely happy – and whatever joy they do experience, it doesn’t last long at all. They put themselves (and those around them) under tremendous, persistent pressure. It isn't pretty or pleasant.

Simple Pleasures | Treat Yourself Well

To what extent are you enjoying your life? If you’re feeling more burdened or stressed than delighted these days, ask yourself: what simple pleasures can you give yourself? And when was the last time you did so? We humans have a curious tendency to find creative ways to deny ourselves simple pleasures. You should hear the convoluted excuses my uber-talented coaching clients devise as to why they couldn't possibly, say, sit outside watching clouds for half an hour. It'd be funny if it weren't so sad that they are denying themselves such basic human treats.

Productivity & Efficiency Tips for Creative People

"Productivity" has kind of a bad rep -- it smacks of automation and soullessness. But honestly, do you know of any successful creative person who isn't productive? By definition, successful talented people produce works in their chosen media. The cousin of productivity is efficiency -- which basically means making good use of your time. I'm not talking about scheduling every moment of your week. I don't mean turning yourself into some kind of 'Type A' whirlwind. What I mean by productivity and efficiency is doing more of what's really important to you -- and less of what isn't.

Guess what? * If you're emails, tweets & Facebook posts are free of spelling mistakes, you just might be a perfectionist. * If you noticed the typo in the previous sentence, you might just be a perfectionist. * If you get frustrated fast when you are learning a new skill and haven't quite got the hang of it yet, you just might be a perfectionist.

A moderate amount of stress can be a good thing. It can motivate us to stop procrastinating and to get things done. It can energize a project and, let's be honest, make life more exciting. Excess stress, however, can be damaging indeed. It can paralyze us, derail our progress and wreck havoc with our health and minds.

Overcoming Perfectionism - Shifting to 'Good Enough'

Perfectionists are, by definition, painfully hard on themselves. Perfectionism is a state of chronic dissatisfaction that takes a hefty toll -- and the sad fact is that few perfectionists realize what's going on. They see themselves as having 'high standards' and are blind to just how unhappy their 'standards' are making them -- and everyone around them. They can't understand how they can work so diligently and passionately -- and yet rarely feel truly pleased or proud with anything they do. Instead, very few things ever seem 'good enough'...and fewer feel 'good enough' for very long.

Are you are an information-maniac, a news junkie, a social-media butterfly? If so, you might be hurting yourself more than you think. The costs of information addiction are many and profound. Alas, I know this not only from personal experience ("Hello, my name is Liisa and I'm an info-holic.") but also from many of my coaching clients who share this malady.

Are you an information addict? A news junkie? A Facebook frequenter, a Twitterer or devotee of other social media? A slave to your PDA or fancy phone?

Take Breaks to Get More Done

Want to get more done? Most multi-talented people have so much to do, we throw ourselves at tasks without taking breaks. We find ourselves, hours later, in a sorry state: our pulses are racing, our minds are fried and our ‘to do’ list seems longer than when we began. (“But how can this be,” we wail. “I’ve been playing sousaphone non-stop for four hours! Surely I should be disce ibly closer to Carnegie Hall by now.”) It may seem counter-intuitive but one of the best ways you can get more done is by taking breaks in whatever you’re doing.
