What if the key to better creativity wasn’t doing more - but doing less?
In this episode of The Monday Break(Through), I dive deep into the real foundations of sustainable creativity: your mental health, physical habits, and the systems you build to protect your energy. From breaking free of hustle culture and burnout to practical ways you can rethink your workspace, your schedule, and your relationship with productivity - this is your designer wellbeing blueprint.
I’ll talk about: • Why burnout isn’t a badge of honor • How sleep, food, and movement shape your creative output • Managing distractions, setting boundaries, and finding focus • The power of rest, play, and unfocused thinking • Designing a career that actually works for you - not the other way around
If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the joy of creating - this one’s for you.
