Thomas Beutel is a determined creator, of all things tactile: both for the hands and for the brain.
Thomas paints, draws, builds, programs, wires, carves, moulds, assembles and imagines, resulting in all kinds of models, tools, sculptures and artwork, as well as animations and creative coding.
With all this, you would think that the creative process must come easy, even effortlessly, to someone so dedicated. But Thomas has always struggled with productivity, focus and completion.
A lifetime of self-study and effort has brought him to a place now where he is comfortable and confident in his creative process, where the dreaded imposter doesn't get in the way, nor do his myriad ideas for projects.
He has developed powerful, practical techniques for sorting through the clutter, making the most of his efforts and recognizing what "finishing" really means.
If you've struggled with finding a balance between letting the creative ideas flow and getting things done, this episode is for you.
