This almost didn't get recorded: Procrastination (14)

Izzy & Gina in stitches

The episode that almost never was because we kept finding other things to talk about first!

Welcome to our new podcast for all stitchers, embroiderers, textile artists and creative souls, where we have friendly informal conversations about what it actually means to be an artist working in textiles. Isobel and Gina are both practicing artists and tutors specialising in machine embroidery, but we’re still figuring it all out! We chat about combining the creative process with running a business and hope that you will find inspiration and support for your own creative journeys.

In this episode, Izzy and Gina talk about what they think procrastination is, why we do it, and most importantly - how to stop procrastinating and do the things we need to do!

According to Tim Urban of Waitbutwhy.com we all do it. Check out his video for an excellent explanation of what's going on in our brains when we procrastinate!
