Consistency over Chaos

Episode Summary:

In this episode of Totally Abstracted I share my passion for keeping your creative spark alive through consistency. Drawing from my experience as both an Agile Scrum Master and an artist, I explore how simple, regular creative “sprints” can help you maintain momentum without feeling overwhelmed. Whether you're balancing a full-time job, family responsibilities, or other demands, I offer actionable insights into building a creative routine that works for you.
