As a creative, you know that time is your most valuable resource. While you may be busy with client work most of the time, there are also periods of downtime when you don’t have any projects to work on. It’s important to make the most of this time and use it productively in order to stay creative, motivated and inspired.

 

Here are some tips on how to use your downtime effectively.

 



1. Take a break and relax
When you’re in the middle of a busy period, it’s easy to forget to take a break and relax. Use this downtime to do something that makes you feel relaxed and recharged. Whether it’s going for a walk, reading a book, or doing something else that you enjoy, these moments of respite can help you stay balanced and productive.

 



2. Invest in yourself
Take the time to focus on your own projects. Whether it’s creating a website, writing a blog post, or working on an idea for a new business, use this time to invest in yourself and your future. This will help you stay motivated and inspired. 



 

3. Network and build relationships
Use this downtime to network with other freelancers, potential clients, and industry experts. Build relationships and make connections that will benefit your business in the long run.

 



4. Take a class
Use this time to learn something new, whether it’s a class related to your profession, a hobby, or something else. Learning something new can help you stay creative and motivated. 



 

5. Read
Take the time to read books, articles, and other resources that may help you stay productive and inspired. 

6. Work on your portfolio. Use this time to update your portfolio, create new pieces, or showcase your work in new ways. This will help you stand out from other freelancers and give potential clients a better sense of your work and style. 



 

7. Experiment and have fun

Use your downtime to experiment with new techniques, styles, and ideas. This can help you stay creative and inspired, and also make you stand out from other freelancers.

 

This may all seem obvious, but sometimes you need a reminder. So go ahead, reader and work your way through the list.
