A large part of having success as an artist, is pragmatically putting every moment of your limited time on earth to work for you. Romantic notions of idle days spent waiting for inspiration aside, having success as an artist means jealously guarding your time against dissipating distraction.
Having success as an artist is when they how to manage their time.
You need to become very aware of how you organize your workday. Make full use of the time that you have on this planet. When the hours of the day have passed, they are gone.
People ask me the same questions again and again. What kind of work day do you have? Is it hard to have the inspiration to make art all the time? People seem to presume that most artists are reasonably unstructured with their work ethic.
This couldn’t be further from the truth. It is so important to have a strong work ethic and a plan for managing the hours in your day. Try to discover if there are areas in your life where you waste time, and don’t let other people waste your time. Remember that your goal and the time frame you have assigned to it is important. If you are serious about your artistic business success, time is one of the most critical areas to defend.
