👋🏻 Welcome and what to expect
Let's break free from busyness. Reclaim your energy, creativity and focus......without the guilt of taking time for yourself.
This is your permission slip to step off the treadmill
Welcome to a sanctuary for busy minds, deep thinkers, and soulful creators feeling crushed by the weight of constant doing.
I'm on a journey of creative rebellion against the hustle culture, where making art isn't another task to optimise but a way to reclaim our essential selves. If you're stretched thin and longing for space to breathe again without the guilt, you've found your home.
In a world demanding more productivity and longer to-do lists, this Substack offers an alternative: permission to slow down. Here I share my own creative path, thoughtful essays, and gentle practices that help us remember what matters.
The Be More, Do Less Philosophy
I live by the simple Be More, Do Less philosophy. By reducing the constant doing, we create space to be: more present, more creative, more fulfilled.
Perhaps it's sketching without judging the outcome, writing without counting words, or simply staring out a window without calling it "wasted time."
Remember: Time for yourself isn't something you earn after completing all your tasks. It's essential to the creative life you're meant to live.

💞 Georgie’s personal mission
First and foremost, I’m an artist. But through my previous and varied work as a productivity coach, NHS-trained mindfulness teacher, digital wellbeing consultant, and a mother of three, I’ve spent many years honing my approach to slow productivity and using my creative practice as my tool for wellbeing.
The desire to fully commit to this mission and my life as an artist was ignited at the end of 2024 when I was made redundant. Now, I want to share what I’ve experienced with you. Together, we can challenge the cult of busyness by utilising simple, everyday creative practices. For the fun and joy of it!
So, if you’re feeling stretched too thin, drowning in to-dos, or just longing for a little breathing room, you’re in the right place.
I look forward to getting you know you!
