i directed my first music video for my band Mind Shrine and itās been such a gratifying (and also a really deeply anxiety inducing) experience. im so moved to do more and im really thankful i have a team behind me that supports that desire. :) please watch ! and also im playing an unofficial sxsw showcase this Wednesday at the old Austin Chronicle building so it would be so lovely seeing some PI friends :))))
Make everything as easy for future you as possible. This might sound silly but itās all about harnessing current time and energy and distributing it to future you who will be tired/lazy. For example, I make breakfast the night before so that in the morning itās not as hard to get up at regimented times and start my day. I signed up for a gym that I have to walk past to go to work so I have no excuse not to go in. Iāll block my calendar out weeks in advance so I know exactly when I should be doing personal work/not. Lowering the barrier was the only thing I found that helps me stay strict to the lifestyle I wanted. Otherwise it was way too easy for me to blow it all off.
In an age where we āmakeā so much stuff to live as content for entertainment Iāve been enjoying making purely for learning. An artist I want to learn about? Iāll make a video about it. An old film process Iām interested in? Iāll write a page or two on it. Learning through making has me much more engaged with the topic Iām interested in as well as allows me to create stuff without the burden of worrying if itās good. Itās like adult homework. And you can do it about anything. Highly recommend.
