Occupation: PR Manager 

 

​

As a creative, I’m sure a part of your role is to collaborate with others, how has the pandemic affected that?

​

I've had to put a lot of my campaigns at work on hold and upcoming events I was going to host. Therefore I can't collaborate with them on the same scale. 

 

​

Are you still able to work from home?

​

Yes, I'm very lucky that my job can be done at home.

​

A lot of creatives are finding this period hard as they are lacking motivation and routine, what routine do you have to make sure you stay motivated?

​

To be honest, I've lacked a routine but I don't see it as a bad thing as long as I get things done at my pace. As long as I get up before 12, work out at least once a day. That keeps me motivated.

​

What does being motivated mean to you during these times?

​

It means just being able to achieve what I can, even if it's the little things like having a shower today. 

​

​

A lot of creatives are saying this is the time to start something new, learn a new language. But do you think this is also a time to relax and take some time for yourself?

​

I think this is a great time to have the right balance, relaxing might motivate you to do something new. We are going through a global pandemic so whatever way creatives see fit to spend their spare time is very personal.

​

What tips can you give people who are struggling with keeping motivated?

​

I think write things down, do a week-long to-do list and focus on ticking at least one thing off. Seeing things done keeps me motivated. 

​

​

What do you plan to do after lockdown?

​

Go on holiday! Wear pretty clothes again! Spend time with my best friends! 

​

​

One quote to help you creatives during these times?

 

"This is only temporary, this is God's plan!"
