This week’s podcast is an exercise that is painful but gets absolute results. Track all your activities for one week, get up time to when you finally sat down at your desk or practised to time spent cooking, watching series and seeing friends.

I did this exercise first in 2013 when I started my first podcast Love Your Creativity and was shocked to find out exactly how much time I spent every day creating amazing dishes for one (and a cat).
The suggestion is to just track your one hour time slots via paper, phone notes or an app – try not to get overcomplicated. Don’t judge! Then at the end of the week add up all the times in certain activities.
Then look at the ‘hotspots’ the areas where you wanted to take more action and did not, and those areas where you did not plan to spend that amount of time but did.
If you have made a plan (have a listen to last week’s podcast on how making a plan very quickly leads to getting a feeling of control back) then you will have an idea of where you want to spend your time – and chatting and supporting family and your local community is great. However you will definitely see you spend many hours on X activity and if you could reclaim a portion of that back then you have time to spend doing what you deem to be more worthwhile activites.

Have a go and let me have some feedback on what you learned!

Aims of this podcast - Love Your Creativity & Make Money
This podcast is about what techniques we can all use to get the work done and out there, no matter where you work full time as an actor, a choreographer or have a yearning to paint more over the weekends.

About me, Marysia Trembecka

I am at heart a storyteller and this has translated from the initial creation of work to being a performer, including film and theatre acting, writing and performing international touring comedy shows to MCing.
Highlights include sell-out Adelaide and Edinburgh Fringe shows, singing at the Royal Festival Hall in 23 different languages, as well as doing TEDx talks and corporate gigs, such as the Brit Awards Afterparty at the 02 as my ‘The Singing Psychic’ bio queen character.

My ‘THE SINGING PSYCHIC’ who ‘reads the songs in your heart’ also has a GAME SHOW version, and was a finalist in Best Show, Funny Women in 2016, and I have toured internationally since then.
I have also produced five webseries as the character including my 23 episode SONGS OF BREXIT webseries I made for the June 2016 EU Referendum, on the pros and cons of the EU, I started the web series singing The Clash’s ‘Should I Stay Or Should I Go Now’. It was very well received due to the blend of education and entertainment, and I ended up on London Live and even a BBC2 Live Debate on the National Living Wage amongst other press of the back of that.


I also was awarded Arts Council funding for research on a solo show on how we are all judged by our sexuality, so as part of that, I interviewed people on the cutting edge of sexual politics. From this I then created another character ‘Queen Of The F*cking World’ which has also toured internationally from Glasgow WOFF film festival in the female perspective strand to sell-out London, Edinburgh and Adelaide runs. I sing well and play the bass guitar and guitar in this show.

My film acting credits can be found on IMDB and indeed my projects are on my media gallery http://marysiatrembecka.com/media-gallery/
