Think of it as a creative fast. Once you're through, you'll likely find a stronger desire and sharper focus for your creative projects.

You slowly recalibrate. Sure there’s no more weekends spent on the computer exploring and loosing track of time. But they make it easier to unplug and coming back with a fresh mind. Also, don’t forget this situation is not forever.

I want to get into my creative zone again but sometimes it feels impossible with a little toddler. How are posts.parents handle this?

Struggle with this as a father of a 2.5 year old! What helps me is intentionally blocking out time after he goes to sleep to work on what I want to get better at or to do something where I can creatively express myself. Sounds basic, but showing up every night makes a dif!

Ya. You have to make time. 

Also, understanding your creative goals and expectations. For me, it doesn’t all come together even when i make time for it. The feeling of making something is nice, but I often feel Im still lacking because the craft could improve a lot.

“Sometimes”? 🥲 It’s tough but being a father of 2 (4 and 1,5 years old) I had to improve my efficiency and make use of the little time I have to squeeze my brain and make it work. Don’t give up! 😊
