On Creativity Vol. 3: Nontoxic Time Management Techniques for Creatives

  • Regular price $10.00

Redefine productivity in a way that honors your creativity and well-being.

The third volume in the On Creativity series, Nontoxic Time Management for Creatives reframes productivity as something spacious, humane, and aligned with your creative life. Across 48 pages of essays, frameworks, and reflections, it shows you how to manage time without falling into burnout culture — by working with your energy, values, and seasons.

Printed in small batches in Portland, Oregon, it’s a practical and philosophical guide for those who want structure without self-punishment.

The contents of this zine include:

Part I: Embrace Your Limitations

Redefine what it means to be productive by understanding personal capacity and working with, not against, your constraints.

Part II: Prioritize Your Values

Use your values as a filter for decision-making and time use, creating a living priority list that evolves with your goals.

Part III: Redefine Productivity

Challenge cultural narratives of busyness; build balance, joy, and rest into your definition of meaningful work.

Part IV: Personal Rhythms & Routines

Map energy patterns, establish supportive routines, and integrate flexibility so your systems move with you.

Part V: Pay Yourself First

Protect your energy before attending to external demands. Build habits of self-care and reflection that keep you fueled, focused, and creatively present.

Part VI: Setting Boundaries

Learn the art of saying no. Establish limits that preserve your time, focus, and mental clarity—so your “yes” carries intention and weight.

Part VII: Idea & Task Management

Develop systems to capture ideas, organize projects, and translate inspiration into action. Includes tools for prioritization, workflow, and maintaining creative flow.

Part VIII: Overcoming Overwhelm

Strategies for recalibration when everything feels too heavy. Learn to break large goals into manageable steps, rest intentionally, and maintain perspective.

Part IX: Additional Recommendations

Practical approaches for deep work, batching tasks, minimizing friction, and using constraints to spark creativity.
