Failing Forward - Learning To Pause Before You Start
Are you a mind mapper or a spreadsheet planner?
This week we are chatting about how we reboot or start new artworks and art projects. We discuss the ways that we have failed at this in the past, by jumping in too quickly and not fully allowing ideas to develop, and how we both want to get better at pausing before rushing ahead. When thinking about planning, it’s no surprise that Julie is more of a spreadsheet user and Phoebe tends to use her less reliable ‘mind map’ system… We also discover the ‘interesting’ way that Phoebe visualises a year.
We hope you enjoy this chat, please share with us how you like to plan and restart!

Just pausing the podcast episode to say YES! Phoebe, I also visualise my year as a circle. For me it’s like a clock face, although not corresponding to the hours. So June is 3pm ish
