Out There's New Years Resolutions
/
As an independent production where we’re all chronically overworked and underpaid, it can be easy to focus so much on business growth that you lose sight of creative goals and artistic vision.
So, as we head into a new decade, here are some resolutions aimed at sparking joy, nurturing innovation, and maintaining balance for the Out There team.
Play more.
Experiment artistically. Tell stories in new ways. Try things just because they sound fun and exciting, even if we’re not positive they’ll “work” for the show.
Relax on holidays.
It’s so easy to get sucked into the mindset that holidays are for catching up on work. Let’s banish that notion.
On future holidays, Out There team members will be expressly encouraged to ignore their emails, close their laptops, and recharge their spirits.
Celebrate tiny victories.
So often, as soon as one project is finished, we instantly launch into the next. That’s not a bad thing; it’s important to look ahead and keep up the momentum. But when we focus only on the tasks ahead of us, we fail to appreciate how far we’ve come.
Successes, however small, should be recognized and celebrated.
Happy New Year to all, and best wishes for 2020!
