A Free 3-Part Creative Experiment in Reclaiming Your Creative Time
(Even When Life Makes It All Feel a Bit Impossible)

The Art of Bad Timing is a short, rebellious creative experiment for people who want to create but whose days are full, whose energy is low, and whose nervous systems feel a little fried.

 This isn’t about being more productive or adding things on when you’re already feeling overloaded.

What I’m interested in is this:

How do we become more available to the creative life we actually want?

How do we find the time to create inside the hours we already have?

Because more often than not, the problem isn’t a lack of time; it’s our relationship to the time we do have (and whether we feel allowed to use it).

Over three audio sessions we'll explore...

✏️ The difference between being busy and feeling busy

✏️ How to navigate the internal freeze, avoidance, or frustration when a creative window finally arrives

✏️ How to build a creative rhythm when your hands (and life) are already full

Each day includes...

🎧 A private podcast episode you can download to your fave podcast app so you can tune in wherever and however you like.

I’ll send you all the details of how to access it once you’re signed up.

📝 Questions and prompts to help infuse more creating into your day. We aren’t looking so much at making “more time” but making you more available to the time you do have

The Daily Themes

✏️ Day One {23 mins}

The Mechanics of Feeling Busy: Why your days feel full even when you technically “should” have time

We’ll explore:

  • What actually creates the feeling of busyness
  • How attention, sensory load, responsibility pressure, and emotional strain drain creative capacity
  • How to lower the threshold for beginning and start exactly where you are.

🎨 Day Two {14 mins}

When a Creative Window Opens: Looking at permission leaks, resistance, and the invisible forces that shut creativity down

We’ll explore:

  • Permission leaks : the places where your system has decided creativity is  frivolous, a luxury, unearned, or irresponsible
  • Resistance with teeth: guilt, perfectionism, pressure, emotional patterns, inherited ideas and roles
  • Creative Hygiene Habits
  • How to start messy, tiny, and safely

📝 Day Three {14 mins}

When Life Is Crunchy: Building a Rhythm That Survives Reality

We’ll explore:

  • Human-paced creative rhythms that don’t collapse under stress
  • Creative breadcrumbs: leaving yourself clues, cues, and micro-starts
  • Understanding the context of your creating
  • How to make things in the middle of chaos

 

You'll come away with...

✏️ Ways to navigate creative resistance that are nervous system friendly

✏️ A sense of possibility instead of pressure

✏️ A fresh relationship with time

✏️ The ability to (Joyfully! Happily! Gleefully!) prioritise your creative time

✏️ A creative rhythm that doesn’t evaporate the moment life gets sticky

This is for you if...

✨ You are genuinely busy, and see creative windows appear, but can’t seem to use them

✨ You struggle to choose creativity because of guilt, pressure, or the “shoulds” 

✨ You yearn to create but feel blocked by responsibility and *waves at all the things*

✨ Want to create a practice that feels enlivening, and possible in the life you already have

✨ You find yourself leaking time and energy on things you don’t actually care about

✨Your nervous system short-circuits just as you’re about to begin

Have we met before?

Hi, I’m Jane! I’m a artist, writer, and creative mentor.

For the past 15 years, I’ve worked in the world of somatic and movement therapies with a focus on nervous system health, a lens that deeply shapes how I approach creativity.

I’m endlessly curious about the relationship between the body, the nervous system, and creative practice, and how those threads connect us not just to ourselves, but to each other and the wider world.

By combining creative practice with nervous system awareness, I can help you make art in ways that fits the reality of your life, so you can build habits that last, not by pushing harder, but by learning to work with your energy, attention, and capacity.
