No Time to Create? Here’s How to Make Space in the Middle of Your Chaos
Let’s keep it real:
Between kids, work, laundry, and trying not to lose your mind...
creativity can feel like a luxury.
You barely have time to pee in peace—so how are you supposed to sit down and paint, write, craft, or create anything?
But Mama, hear me loud:
You don’t need a perfect schedule. You need a strategy.
Let’s talk about how to find pockets of time—and permission—to do what lights you up.
Myth: “I’ll create when I have more time.”
Ahh, when is that?
When the kids are grown? When work slows down? When everything is magically peaceful?
Hate to break it to you—but that mythical “one day” might never show up.
But today is here. And today has minutes we can use.
Your Life Isn’t Too Full—It’s Just Not Full of You.
You're doing everything for everybody else.
But how often do you say yes to you?
- Five minutes in the morning.
- A voice note brainstorm while you drive.
- A notebook by the bed for ideas after lights out,
It doesn’t have to be a 2-hour uninterrupted session (though we’d love that too).
Small steps count. Tiny moments matter.
Chaos Doesn’t Cancel Creativity. It Can Fuel It.
That hot mess life you’re living?
It’s full of stories, inspiration, ideas, lessons, jokes, colors, textures, emotions...
All of it can feed your creativity.
You don’t need quiet. You need presence.
So instead of fighting the mess, find your rhythm inside it.
Practical Ways to Make Time (That Actually Work for Moms)
- Time-block one creative slot a week. Protect it like your peace.
- Pair it with something else. Creative journaling while waiting at practice? Yes! Mama.
- Say "no" more often. To one thing. Just one. Free up that energy.
- Let the house stay messy. For an hour. It'll survive. You're worth it.
This isn’t selfish. This is self-respect.
Your Creativity Is a Priority—Not a Perk
You deserve time for yourself that doesn’t revolve around output, chores, or caretaking.
You deserve joy. Expression. FUN.
You deserve to feel like you again.

Finally
Mama, you are the glue, the fire, the heart of your home.
But you are more than your to-do list.
And when you create?
You come back to life.
So give yourself the gift of time.
Not “someday” time.
Now time.
Even if the dishes are not done.
And the laundry is waiting.
You matter too.
Let’s make time for your magic.
