Passion projects are often what keeps creativity alive. When working on client projects, we’re bound by guidelines and deadlines, but a passion project allows full creative freedom.
Passion projects can give you new skills, open unexpected doors, and often lead to more inspired work in your day-to-day projects.
Set aside time for a personal project each week, even if it’s just an hour. This will keep your creative muscles active and help you maintain a fresh perspective on client work.
And if your passion project goes viral? Congratulations! You’re now a part-time “accidental entrepreneur.”
