My mindset towards “productivity” has changed so much in recent years. I used to feel awful if I wasn’t constantly producing music or outputting creatively.
These days, I’m primarily focused on moderating my energy and sustaining a calm pace without burning out. Stepping back from “industry” work has really helped me to value my wellbeing more, along with antidepressants, motherhood, and my experience with injury.
I composed a lot of my album, tiger & water, in 10-minute sessions when my newborn baby was asleep. Little consistent efforts over time truly add up!
