Creativity can be messy, inspiring, frustrating, exciting, and deeply rewarding, often all at the same time. Whether you’re an artist, writer, musician, crafter, entrepreneur, or simply someone who enjoys creative hobbies, the way you organize your space, time, and ideas can have a big impact on your ability to create.
For the July edition of the Productivity & Organizing Blog Carnival, we’re exploring Organizing for Creativity. I asked my readers to share their tips, strategies, experiences, challenges, and/or successes, answering such questions as:
- How do you keep track of ideas?
- What systems help you move projects from inspiration to completion?
- How do you organize your workspace, supplies, schedule, or digital files to support your creative pursuits?
As you read their posts, please connect with the bloggers on social media, leave comments, and/or share your favorites with your network. Please share this one too!

The Productivity & Organizing Peer Support (POPS) Circle is a virtual community where organizing, productivity, and related professionals build genuine relationships, exchange ideas, and support one another’s growth.
Your first two meetings are free!
The titles alone show how many ways people get creative! I love it!
Thanks for including my post on children’s artwork. I gotta go check out the Fish House post first LOL!
Creativity means something different to everyone, I think! I talked a bit about that in one of my other posts, which I considered putting in this month’s Blog Carnival, but decided the other one was probably of greater interest to readers.
If you’re interested, here’s that other post: https://janetbarclay.com/photography-project-1/
Thanks for including mine. So many interesting titles.
Always my pleasure, Julie! So many of us don’t think we have time for creative pursuits, but you’ve shown that it’s possible.
I love seeing all the ways people can be creative, and all the variety of methods of helping people organize their creative endeavors!
It’s pretty inspiring, isn’t it?
What fun titles, and filled with lots of inspiration! Thank you for adding my post to the group. I’m looking forward to checking these out and catching some of the ‘creativity’ juices.
Happy reading! I hope you find lots of inspiration.
