Decluttering Your Inner Creative Space

Feb 06, 2024 | Magda Olchawska

When I think about decluttering, I usually think about my physical space and the objects that my space is filled with. When my physical space overwhelms my senses, I get the urge to clear as much as I can. Removing the excess clothing, books, and little knick-knacks that gather dust has always been relatively easy…

Another Way…

Nov 11, 2023 | Magda Olchawska

I have known I would make films, write, travel, and observe people while sipping coffee in coffee shops since I was 7. In my child-like mind, leading a creative life was the only way I could escape the reality of 1980s Poland. I began my artistic venture by packing my little plastic bag, which my…

Changing the Location Could Reopen Gates to Your Creativity

Sep 09, 2022 | Magda Olchawska

As every year, also this year I spend the summer at my parent’s country house in Poland. However, unlike any previous summer, during the summer of 2022, I had very little time for my creative practice. Not to fall behind on my ongoing projects, every morning, I woke up extra early (early nights are required…

My Creative Words for 2022

Jan 28, 2022 | Magda Olchawska

I have been thinking a lot about my creativity recently, and accidentally or not, I watched a video where the host talked about the words, they were going to use in 2022 to describe the actions they need to take to reach their goals for the year.   That gave me an incentive to look…

Freelancing vs Employment

Jan 20, 2022 | Magda Olchawska

The pandemic quickly re-shaped the employment landscape, making work from home more acceptable, accessible, and preferred choice for most. A new normal has emerged for the working population. Since the working model has changed quite drastically in such a short period, many new opportunities have been presented to employees. Opportunities that were previously unavailable or…

My 30 Days Blogging Challenge

Jul 12, 2018 | Magda Olchawska

My 30-day blogging challenge has ended, and I’m happy to report that I haven’t missed even one day. I have learnt a ton and had fun having this daily task: to produce a blog entry every day. In the past, I used to write my blogs for several days, but now I think it is…

What Is Creativity?

Mar 05, 2018 | Magda Olchawska

In my opinion creativity “lives” (yes, I do think creativity is alive) in small details and can be found in the most unusual and unexpected places, usually at times when you, the creator, don’t expect it to take hold of you.
