Replay: Julianna Baggott shares Five Things She's Learned about Balancing Family, Writing, and the Work/Life Blur
Check out the first five minutes of her recent class.
"I have a lot to say—not about work life balance but about life work blur. A good, beautiful, weirdly efficient blur that has made me streamline and obsess and mine my life in ways that, seriously, made me write more than I would have on a timeline where I’m a trust-fund baby with butlers."
– Julianna Baggott, Five Things I’ve Learned about Balancing Family, Writing, and the Work/Life Blur

Julianna’s class, Five Things I’ve Learned about Balancing Family, Writing, and the Work/Life Blur focuses on the intricacies of balancing a dynamic life with her creative work. She shares her strategies for writing productivity in limited time, for integrating writing into daily life, and for discovering and refining her own, personal creative processes.
The session is the first in our four-part series, Five Things I've Learned about How to Balance a Creative Life with a Family Life. Like each of the four sessions in the series, is for all kinds of creative people similarly interested in getting things right.
