How to make time for photography

August 17, 2020 in journal

One of the recurring themes in the messages I get from other photographers is about their struggle to find time for photography on a daily basis.

Today, we are so busy all the time! It's the busyness era. If you aren't doing something, you are falling behind. It's all about the hustle, right?

This is an issue I'm deeply interested in. Recently, I read the book related to this topic, Make Time, and in this video I share some of the key points from the book, along with some of my own, all applied to photography.

We'll see why we are so busy, why we need to make time for photography, the highlight of the day, and several tips to make time for photography.

There's no better tool for photography than a healthy body and a sharp brain. It's not easy to keep them that way during these times, though, when billions of people are confined to their homes. This is how I try to stay in shape, both physically and mentally, through this mandatory quarantine.

Keeping the streak going for as long as I can is a powerful motivation game for me. This is how it works.
