Hi fellow creatives! I’m looking for any and all kinds of creative people to participate in a research study!
www.creativitystudy.com
I’m a creativity researcher working on my dissertation on the psychology & neuroscience of creativity. I’m interested in understanding how different types of creative careers, side hustles, and artistic outlets relate to our emotions, mental health, & well-being. Ultimately to help build awareness, resources, & improve the lives of creative people.

You control this-no one else. Set limits for yourself. If people don't respect you, quit and go elsewhere.
I wish I could take my own advice, but I'm in a similar situation. The more you give they more they will take. At minimum, schedule a vacation!
Any way to set some clear boundaries? That's what I've done, creating a schedule that works better for me, and it's helped tremendously.
An SVP under Lee Iacocca told he hadn’t taken a vacation in 3 years. Lee fired him.
It's not worth it. Look at your day. What are you doing that takes that long? If your a senior fa can you shift responsibility for some of those tasks?
What is taking so much of your time? Investment research? Financial planning? General client service?
How can you make your practice more scalable? What can you delegate? Those are the keys.
I’ve said this before, but it comes down to time blocking. Just as an example, you have tech free Fridays and block that time so no appointments creep in, shut down all electronics after market close, turn OFF phone, and do whatever is healthy and makes you happy: golf, bike with the kiddos, nice dinner with your partner, work on that half marathon. The sky is the limit, and you know what? It’s very freeing to know you’re business is still there the next day.
