School of Visual Storytelling

I'm a Mum of two hyperactive little kids and an Illustrator during the nights, and even though I know and agree every words these guys said here, I really had to hear these from somebody else now and this video was just the right boost I needed! Thanks guys for the book recommendations too, will look them up!And thanks for reminding me that it's OK not to be perfect. :-)

This was brief but really got to the meat of the subject. I loved the insights and take on this subject for creatives and by creatives. There was quite a bit of take away and points I would like to implement from daily routines, to communication and family and ways to focus. Truly Good Stuff. :)

Everything that was said I struggle with it when I was getting my degree. This would of been great when I started college. I think time management should be taught in school.

This is a very important subject and I appreciated the different approaches used by artists to manage family and work life. I'm inspired to read the books they mentioned and apply them to my life.

Although hip to the necessity of setting a schedule and prioritizing important things to get done, I found this helpful to listen to, to hear strategies on how these guys(and gal) w kids work things out on a day to day, set expectations and manage the big picture. This is a video you can listen to without watching. Their written outline is in a download.

Very useful pro insights on being an artist in the the more broader context of life, that can spare us a lot of frustration and trouble. It is specially valuable because all the people here come from different backgrounds and family contexts. I'm sure it's a good place to start, whatever season you are right now.

This was such a useful course. The advice that was given is the kind that I can immediately put into practice. Thanks for being candid about your struggles with time/family management and all of the tips for helpful tools and practices!

I took this webinar as my first 'course', it seemed like a good place to start to help you think through how to balance life and working as a creative. Lots of key points were given from both female and male perspectives on everything from routines and scheduling, communicating with those in your relationship to setting boundaries and overcoming hurdles on staying focused.

Video full of honest sharing from everyday life. I appreciate it a lot, because I think this is a hot topic for almost everybody. Thanks to all!

This was my first course I chose to do when I just joined SVS. It is comforting to listen to like minded creatives discuss the challenges that come with our unique career structure (working from home, deadlines, time restrictions). I walk away from this having learned that I need to be better and 'powering down' Work Me and transition to Family Me daily so that I am not forced to be split focused and I can hopefully be better at both. And I am going to sit down and better plan out my priorities to help me find not only balance, but harmony as well. This was overall very helpful and like I said comforting to know I am not alone! Oh, and I am always stressed that I never have time to read great books people recommend but now I am aware of Audible so I will check that out too!!

Great panel. Great content! Feel like a have few new tools in my belt. I'm technically a landscape designer working toward illustration. But, I've been working from home for 11 years and this has been eye-opening! Thanks!
