36 - adventures in motivation

Another day, another to-do list. Where to begin? Does it really matter? Another cup of coffee first?  As artists, creatives, makers, most of us work alone. We have studio space, a kitchen table, a spare room to use. It's all set up nicely and we Go For It. To start with it's all very exciting, then we discover that other tasks grab our time... so how do we stay motivated? What keeps us in some sort of routine when we have no one to check we're working? What happens when we're tired, below par? We keep on keeping on.  In this week's podcast we chat about tips, ideas, people and podcasts that have worked for us to keep us motivated when our energy and spark dips.
