📌 Goal-Setting and Time Management Workshop for Artists erikalancasterartist.kit.com/9c34ccf6aa
With so many New Year’s resolutions and productivity advice floating around, it’s easy for artists to set goals that sound good but don’t actually support real growth. In this video, I’m sharing the three most common goal-setting mistakes I see artists make, based on years of teaching and my own experience as a working artist.
We’ll talk about:
👉Why choosing projects that are too complex too soon can quietly stall your progress
👉How breaking your art goals into smaller, learnable skills leads to more consistent improvement
👉Why mindset and expectations matter just as much as technique when it comes to long-term growth
This isn’t about rigid systems or unrealistic deadlines. It’s about clarity, intention, and building goals that actually work for you and your current season of life.
