Comments on: 7 Tips to Shock You Out of Your Creative Rut http://www.thecreativeinstinct.com/2007/08/07/creative-rut/ Personal development techniques for artists, writers, musicians, photographers...

One thing I do that is a true lifesaver is have your tools ready to work at a moment's notice. Often, our blocks start or are exacerbated because we have to drag all the stuff out to be creative. This is true especially for visual artists. That isn't good. I have a studio and most stuff is already out so I can just go out and work. However, you don't need a fancy studio. For example, I also have "little" workstations around my house too. For example, I have some tiny brushes, little canvases, and a little plastic drop cloth in the living room of my house, so I can get a little more work done (instead of veg out on the couch). Also, I have a little clear bag of supplies I take with me when I go out to listen to music or to an outside cafe. I carry this with me all the time and even make stuff during meetings! In other words, if you have your tools at the ready, you are much more likely to be RUT FREE! Sheree Rensel www.wizzlewolf.com Andrew,
