This lesson focuses on establishing a studio system that supports consistent productivity and helps you complete your creative projects efficiently.

• Assess Current Habits: Evaluate how frequently you work in your studio and identify any obstacles that hinder your progress.
• Define Ideal Studio Life: Visualize your optimal studio routine, including how often and how long you would work ideally.
• Create a Studio Schedule: Develop a schedule that allocates specific times for studio work, ensuring it becomes a priority rather than an afterthought.
• Daily Task Lists: Before each studio session, prepare a list of specific tasks to accomplish, keeping your project plan aligned and on track.
• Manage Distractions: Identify and minimize distractions within your studio to maintain focus during creative work.
• Set Deadlines: Implement deadlines to provide structure and motivation, making them public if possible to increase accountability.

By implementing these strategies, you aim to transform your studio into a space of productivity and creativity. The system should not only help you start projects but also see them through to completion.

Watch the accompanying video journal for a practical demonstration of these concepts, and prepare for the next lesson, which will focus on finalizing your creative projects.
