I know you might be thinking how can a planner help you be more creative?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, I found that sometimes trying to be creative can feel a bit chaotic in my brain. But having a planner for your creative work<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>and not just your day job or what-have-you can help reign it all in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just a quick peak into my brain: it breaks down all of your projects, week by week, month by month and it keeps you accountable, daily.<br>There&#8217;s even a section for brainstorming each week, which is one of the reasons why I think this is an awesomely great creative tool.<br>Check it out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Authors-Accountability-Planner-Horsemen-Publications\/dp\/1644501295\/ref=asc_df_1644501295\/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=475746476336&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=11644091003207359399&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9007377&amp;hvtargid=pla-992409411579&amp;psc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"333\" height=\"499\" src=\"http:\/\/amymarieayres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/planner.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-848\" srcset=\"http:\/\/amymarieayres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/planner.jpg 333w, http:\/\/amymarieayres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/planner-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 333px) 85vw, 333px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>I love you planner.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Craft<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What is your writing tool of choice? I tend to like to handwrite when the words don&#8217;t come. When I sit in front of the computer screen and just go &#8220;ugh&#8221; that&#8217;s when I know I need to go to a different room and pull out pad and pen. But TBH, I often like to use pencil. Maybe it&#8217;s less committal, IDK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I use colored pens usually when I get close to the end of a project and pencils when I first start out. Like I said, brains are weird.
