9781608682102 English 1608682102 "Organized" and "artist" don't usually go together. Creative types are more often seen as sensitive, melodramatic, eccentric, misunderstood, and the like. To labels like this, Sam Bennett says, "Congratulations You're an artist." And through The Organized Artist Company, she has coached hundreds of artists to overcome procrastination, lack of focus, and time-sucking habits so that they can get their art done and out into the world. Bennett explains why "procrastination is genius in disguise" and then prescribes dozens of wonderfully revelatory exercises. From "My Heroes" lists to "Could Do" lists (because To-Do lists make Bennett belligerent) to recognizing who you should "not" talk to about your project and when research has created Analysis Paralysis, each of these actions requires only a 15-minute commitment. But while quickly accomplished, each shifts the reader's thinking and prompts the kind of insights that have the power to turn underperforming geniuses into accomplished artists., Everyone has said it: if I only had more xxx, I could get this project completed (or make more money; start my business; write a novel; record a song). But instead of focusing on the project, we procrastinate. Everyone has 24 hours in each day, yet some people find ways to write bestsellers, create amazing art, design dresses, or start a new business. According to Samantha Bennett, what those who finish projects have that others don't is creative genius, which consists of clarity, motivation, and the ability to get past their own demons to get their work out there. Her clever approach includes explanations and ways to override the "getting ready to get ready" syndrome; making "could do lists" (instead of "to-do") to allow yourself the option of saying no and dreaming big; and the "pure preference" worksheet to decide which project to pursue, a.k.a., "you can't chase two bunnies." And, it only takes 15 minutes a day to build those skills. Creative people aren't necessarily motivated by money or other trappings of success and they don't need their creativity unleashed. In fact, according to Samantha Bennett, most are already "unleashed" enough. What creative people need are not more platitudes or encouragement but effective tools for overcoming the procrastination and lack of focus that hobble them. Sam, herself an actor and comedienne, knows first-hand how these frustrations suck up energy, and she offers field-tested tools to get beyond them and stay in the creative zone. Artists not only have projects they want to start, focus on, and bring to light; they are also parents, teachers, entrepreneurs, church-goers, movie-renters, coffee-drinkers, vacationers, business owners, and much more.

Each chapter features compelling (and often funny) real-life stories, innovative I-Never-Thought-About-It-That-Way-Before worksheets and also offers an online component -- either a webinar, downloadable audio or online tool -- to deepen the learning. The exercises and suggestions were created in response to the critical issues artists brought to Bennett's Get It Done Workshops held throughout southern California and on the Internet. Devised to address the anxieties that plague artists and to take advantage of the blessings that redeem them, every exercise and every bit of the wisdom included in Get It Done has been tested and re-tested by hundreds of Bennett's satisfied clients Creative people tend to see the world a little differently than everyone else.
