❤️When I only have 30 minutes to craft
Jan 04, 2026 12:01 am
Hi ,
I used to tell myself I was “too tired” to craft.
But honestly?
I was just tired of deciding.
Most nights looked like this:
Kids asleep.
House quiet.
Cricut sitting there…
And me scrolling Pinterest “for inspiration” until my energy was gone.
What finally clicked for me was realizing I didn’t need a *better idea* —
I needed a better starting point.
So I stopped opening Design Space first.
Instead, I spend about **10 minutes planning** before I touch anything:
* I decide the theme
* pick the project type
* choose the graphic and font *on purpose*
That one change is why I can actually finish projects now — usually in under 30 minutes — even on weeknights.
I wrote out exactly how I plan my projects (and the step I skipped for way too long) in this post:
👉🏾 **This is the 10-minute craft planning shortcut I use**
If Valentine’s Day is coming up and your Cricut hasn’t been touched yet, this is what helped me get unstuck — fast.
Hope it helps you too 🤍
