Hello and welcome to another episode of Working Overtime, the bi-weekly advice focus carrot to workings Mint Pie.

I'm your host June Thomas.

And Hark how the Bells, Sweet Carol Bells, all seem to say I am your other host Isaac Butler.

So what are we talking about today June?

Well Isaac I want to talk about this will not come as a shock making changes to

creative habits and practices.

Wow how many steps are there?

Your plan that you've already developed.

There are 15 steps and there are 25 books that influence me in this.

No. Okay.

We're recording this at the very end of 2023, and you will not be surprised to hear,

I am one of those people who loves to spend time looking back at the year just ended and

pondering the year ahead. So this feels like a good time to assess my creative

processes and consider making changes. I do want to mention here that in my mind at least this kind of process tweak isn't the same thing as a new year resolution

Incidentally you can find the episode of working in which Isaac and I made our creative resolutions for 2024 in the working feed from December 31st,

2023. For me, resolutions are sort of stretch goals. I will be a better person if I do this thing in the next 12 months,

that kind of stuff, whereas the tweaks I'm talking about here are at the absolute center

of the way I work day in, day out.

Does that distinction make sense to you?

And is this a process you typically put yourself through

at the beginning of a new year?

That makes sense to me, I think.
