Be it through necessity or by habit, much of our careers in the arts are spent being reactive – seizing opportunities, putting out fires, multi-tasking priorities, juggling multiple projects.
For some, the day-to-day scramble might be a great source of energy and motivation, or at least get the job done, but it can be difficult to sustain over an entire career trajectory. Being reactive can make it difficult to create boundaries, make time for reflection or re-evaluate what you are doing and where you want to be.
