Focus to Flourish: Productivity Skills for the Creative
4.2(304)10k students
Bonnie Christine, a surface pattern designer and online educator, distilled a decade of running her own business into workflow strategies that actually work. Power blocks, batch working, habit tracking, automation—these aren't productivity buzzwords here; they're practical methods she uses daily.
This course tackles the meta-skill that separates busy creatives from accomplished ones: planning your year so it feels achievable rather than overwhelming. You'll define your biggest goals, learn how to protect deep work time, and identify which tasks deserve your energy and which can be outsourced or automated.
For creative entrepreneurs juggling multiple projects, this is a masterclass in sustainable productivity. The goal isn't doing more—it's doing what matters.
In this class we’ll be covering the workflow strategies that will help you hone your time management skills, accomplish your biggest goals and create a flow to your year that feels approachable and productive.
You’ll learn about goal settings, annual planning, working in power blocks, working in batches, identifying your top tasks, implementing a daily ‘brand dump, forming and tracking habit, outsourcing tasks and implementing automation.
