What is The Five Phases?
1. Create or Accept a Project?
Start new creative work or accept incoming opportunities, commissions, or collaborations.
2. Do Focused Creative Work?

3. Deliver When Ready?
Package and send deliverables to clients, publishers, or collaborators when the work meets your standards.
4. Follow Up When Appropriate?
Check in on submissions, respond to feedback, or maintain professional relationships without being pushy.
5. Review and Adjust Priorities?
Regularly assess what's working, what's stalled, and where to focus next.

- Sustainability - Prevents burnout through clear separation of work modes
