Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about the Building Better Creative Routines series? We’ve got you covered. From logistics and pricing to what you’ll need and how it all works, find everything you need to know right here.

Absolutely! This series is designed for anyoneā€”whether you’re brand new to creative planning or you’ve been trying (and struggling) with routines for years.

We start with the absolute basics in our intro session and build from there. You don’t need any prior experience with bullet journaling, productivity systems, or creative routines. We’ll walk you through everything step by step, and you’ll be able to go at your own pace.

The beauty of this approach is that it meets you exactly where you are and grows with you as you develop your practice.

Here’s the truth: everyone is creative. This series isn’t about becoming an artist or creating gallery-worthy workā€”it’s about showing up for whatever creative work matters to YOU.

Maybe that’s writing, painting, crafting, photography, starting a business, learning a new skill, or finally organizing your life in a way that feels good and sustainable. Creativity shows up in so many ways beyond traditional art.

If you’ve ever solved a problem, cooked a meal without a recipe, or figured out a better way to do something, you’ve been creative. This series is about honoring that part of yourself and giving it the space and structure it deserves.

Plus, we focus on practical systems and routines that work for real lifeā€”not some idealized, Instagram-perfect version of creativity.

Nope! We’ll cover everything you need to know in the intro session, including the philosophy behind bullet journaling and why it works so well for creative people.

We’ll also provide a simple materials list when you sign up, but here’s the secret: you really can start with just a pen and any notebook you have lying around. Seriously.

You don’t need fancy supplies, expensive planners, or special tools. The bullet journal method is designed to be accessible and adaptable. As you go through the series, you might discover you want to add some supplies or try different things, and that’s great!

But there’s absolutely no pressure to invest in anything beyond the basics. We’ll show you what actually matters (hint: it’s the system, not the supplies).

Not at all! We keep things really simple and accessible.

You’ll receive a complete materials list when you sign up, but here’s the honest truth: you can do everything in this series with just a pen and paper. That’s it. No fancy journals, no expensive art supplies, no special planners.

The bullet journal method was specifically designed to be simple and accessible, and that’s how we approach it too.

Now, as you go through the series and get more comfortable with the practice, you might discover that you enjoy using certain pens, or you might want to try a dotted notebook instead of lined, or you might have fun experimenting with washi tape or stickers. And that’s great! But none of that is required.

Use as much or as little as you wantā€”this is about building a system that works for YOU, not about buying fancy gear or making your journal look like the ones you see on social media.

We’ll show you what actually matters (spoiler: it’s the practice and the system, not the supplies), and we’ll help you figure out what level of supplies feels right for your personality and your goals.

Some people love the simplicity of minimal supplies. Others find joy in having a variety of colors and tools to work with. Both approaches are completely valid, and we support whatever works for you.

Yes! One of the most valuable parts of this experience is connecting with other people who are on the same journey.

The Foxsy community is a supportive, encouraging space where you can share what you’re working on, ask questions, celebrate wins, troubleshoot challenges, and get inspired by what others are creating.

It’s not just about the workshops themselvesā€”it’s about being part of a group of people who understand what you’re going through and are cheering you on.

If you purchase the lifetime access pass, you get 1 year of access to the Foxsy community included with your purchase. If you’re a Foxsy member, you have access to the community for as long as your membership is active.

Either way, you’re not doing this alone. You have a whole community of creative people right there with you, and that makes all the difference.

Yes! We know that sometimes you want to go deeper, ask more specific questions about your unique situation, or get personalized feedback on what you’re building.

For that reason, we’re offering an optional add-on: post-workshop Zoom calls with Shelby for an additional $97.

Here’s what you get with this add-on: After each workshop session, there will be a Zoom call where you can join Shelby for more intimate, one-on-one time (well, one-on-small-group time, since other participants who purchased this add-on will be there too).

This is your chance to ask questions specific to your situation, troubleshoot challenges you’re facing, get feedback on your planning system, and dive deeper into the concepts covered in that workshop.

Maybe you’re struggling with a particular aspect of goal-setting, or you’re not sure how to adapt the monthly setup to your specific lifestyle, or you just want to talk through what’s working and what’s not. These Zoom calls are the perfect space for that kind of personalized support.

And because we know not everyone can attend every Zoom call live, you’ll also get lifetime replay access to all of these sessions. So you can watch and rewatch them whenever you need that extra guidance.

For $97, you get access to ALL the post-workshop Zoom calls throughout the series, plus those lifetime replays. It’s an incredible way to deepen your learning and get support that’s tailored to exactly where you are in your creative journey.

No problem at all! We know life gets busy and schedules don’t always align perfectly.

If you can’t make it to a live session, you’ll receive an email with the replay link shortly after each class ends. You can watch the replay whenever it works for youā€”whether that’s later that evening, the next day, or even weeks later.

The replays stay available for as long as you have access to the series, so there’s no rush. You won’t miss any content, and you can pause, rewind, and rewatch sections as many times as you need.

While attending live gives you the chance to participate in real-time through the chat, the replays capture everythingā€”all the teaching, demonstrations, and even the Q&A portions. So even if you can’t be there live, you’re still getting the full experience.

Absolutely! One of the best things about this series is that you can start whenever works for you.

If you sign up after the series has already begun, you’ll immediately have access to all the previous workshop recordings. So if you join on January 10th, for example, you’ll be able to watch the intro video and the first workshop right away, then catch the second workshop live that same day.

You can work through the earlier sessions at your own pace and catch up with the live sessions whenever you’re ready. There’s no penalty for joining late, and you won’t miss out on any content.

Everything is available to you from the moment you sign up. This flexibility means you don’t have to stress about perfect timingā€”you can join when it feels right for you and still get the full experience.

Great question! The lifetime pass is perfect if you’re specifically interested in this workshop series and want to own it permanently.

You pay $47 once, and you have lifetime access to these specific workshopsā€”no recurring payments, no expiration date. As long as Foxsy is around, those workshops are yours to revisit whenever you want. You also get 1 year of community access included.

A Foxsy membership, on the other hand, gives you access not just to this series, but to our entire platform of creative education. That includes hundreds of other courses on art techniques, creative business, mindset, and more. New content is added regularly, and you get access to all of it for as long as your membership is active.

Think of it like the difference between buying one album versus subscribing to a music streaming serviceā€”both are valuable, just in different ways.

If you know you want to keep learning and exploring different creative topics beyond just creative routines, membership makes a lot of sense. But if you’re focused specifically on building better routines right now and want to own that content permanently, the lifetime pass is a fantastic option.

It depends on which option you choose.

If you purchase the lifetime access pass for $47, you have lifetime access to all the workshop recordings and materials from this series. That means foreverā€”or at least as long as Foxsy exists.

You can come back in six months, a year, five years, whenever you need a refresher or want to revisit the concepts. There’s no expiration date, no countdown clock, no pressure. It’s yours to keep and use as often as you need.

If you access the series through a Foxsy membership ($19/month or $164/year), you’ll have access to the workshops for as long as your membership remains active. If you cancel your membership, you’ll lose access to the workshops along with the other membership content. But as long as you’re a member, everything is available to you.

Both options have their advantagesā€”lifetime access gives you permanent ownership of this specific series, while membership gives you access to this series plus everything else on the platform for as long as you maintain your subscription.

Yes, there are definitely some benefits to joining live if your schedule allows!

When you attend live, you can ask questions in real-time through the chat function and get immediate responses from Shelby. There’s something special about being part of the conversation as it’s happeningā€”you might hear questions from other participants that you hadn’t thought of, or you might get specific feedback on something you’re working through.

There’s also an energy and sense of connection that comes from learning together with others in real time, even though we’re all in different locations.

That said, don’t worry if you can’t make it live! The replays are just as valuable in terms of content. You won’t miss any of the teaching, demonstrations, or even the Q&A portions.

Plus, with replays, you have the advantage of being able to pause, rewind, and rewatch sections as many times as you need. Some people actually prefer the replay experience because they can go at their own pace and really absorb the material.

So while live has its perks, you’re still getting an excellent experience either way.

Each workshop is a live class where Shelby will guide you through the topic for that session. She teaches in a lecture-style format, but this isn’t a boring, one-way presentation where you’re just passively watching.

Throughout each session, there’s a chat function where you can ask questions, share your thoughts, and participate in the conversation. Shelby leaves plenty of time for interaction and will address questions and comments as they come up.

The atmosphere is warm, encouraging, and collaborativeā€”you’re learning alongside other people who are on the same journey. Each session is designed to be practical and actionable, so you’ll walk away with specific tools and strategies you can implement right away.

And because these are live workshops, there’s an energy and connection that comes from learning together in real time, even though we’re all in different places.

Beyond the 2-hour Saturday workshops, you’ll want to find little pockets of time throughout your week to implement what you’re learning.

The beautiful thing about this approach is that it’s designed to work with your life, not against it. For some people, that might mean stealing 15 minutes in the morning with their coffee to set up their day. For others, it might be 30 minutes in the evening to reflect and plan for tomorrow. Some participants find they want to dedicate an hour on Sundays to do their weekly setup.

The truth is, it varies based on your life, your schedule, and what you’re working on. And that’s completely okay!

This isn’t about adding another overwhelming obligation to your already full plate. It’s about finding sustainable ways to integrate creative planning into your existing routine.

We’ll talk about this throughout the seriesā€”how to find those pockets of time, how to make the most of them, and how to be flexible when life inevitably gets chaotic. The goal isn’t perfection; it’s progress.

All classes are hosted on Foxsy.com, which makes it super simple to access everything in one place.

You’ll just need a deviceā€”whether that’s a computer, laptop, tablet, or even your phoneā€”and a stable internet connection. That’s it!

No special software to download, no complicated tech setup. When it’s time for a workshop, you’ll simply log into your Foxsy account and click to join.

The platform is user-friendly and intuitive, so even if you’re not particularly tech-savvy, you’ll be able to navigate it easily. And if you do run into any technical issues, our support team is here to help you troubleshoot.

After your first year of community access expires, you’ll have the option to purchase community access separately if you’d like to continue being part of the group.

We’ll reach out to you before your year is up with information about how to extend your community access.

Some people find that after a year, they’ve built the routines they need and they’re ready to move forward on their own. Others discover that the community has become such a valuable part of their creative practice that they want to stay connected.

Either choice is completely valid, and we want to make sure you have the flexibility to decide what’s right for you. The option will be there if you want it, but there’s no pressure or obligation.

You have two options to access this workshop series, and which one is right for you depends on what you’re looking for:

Option 1: Lifetime Access Pass – $47

Pay once and you’re done. You get lifetime access to all workshop recordings and materials from this series. That means as long as Foxsy exists, you’ll be able to come back and rewatch these workshops whenever you need a refresher or want to dive deeper.

You also get 1 year of access to the Foxsy community, where you can connect with other participants, share your journey, and get ongoing support.

Option 2: Foxsy Membership – $19/month or $164/year

With a Foxsy membership, you get access to this workshop series PLUS our entire library of creative courses, resources, tutorials, and ongoing workshops. It’s basically an all-access pass to everything Foxsy offers.

Your access continues as long as your membership is active. If you’re someone who wants to keep learning and exploring beyond just this one series, membership is an incredible value.

We offer a complete 30-day money-back guarantee, and we mean it when we say no questions asked. We want you to feel confident in your investment.

If you go through the workshops and feel like this isn’t working for you or you’re not making the progress you hoped for, just reach out within 30 days of your purchase and we’ll refund every penny.

We believe in what we’re offering, and we believe these tools can genuinely help you build a more consistent creative practice. But we also know that not everything works for everyone, and that’s okay.

There’s no risk in trying, and we won’t make you jump through hoops or justify your decision if you decide it’s not for you.

We’re here to help! You can reach us by emailing [email protected], and we’ll get back to you as soon as possibleā€”usually within 24 hours during business days.

You can also click the help icon in the bottom right corner of any page on Foxsy.com to get support.

Whether you have questions about the workshop content, technical issues, billing questions, or you just want to know if this series is right for you, don’t hesitate to reach out.

We’re real people who genuinely care about helping you succeed, and we’re happy to answer any questions you have.

Work With Me

Giving in to Irresponsible Art

Hi, I’m Shelby. I used to be that kid who couldn’t put down a crayon, drawing on everything including my homework (sorry, teachers). But somewhere along the way, I let fear and doubt convince me that art was “childish” and “irresponsible.” So I did what so many of us do ā€“ I abandoned the thing that made me feel most alive.

For years, I told myself creativity was a waste of time while quietly dying inside. I convinced myself that being “productive” meant killing the part of me that needed to create. But here’s what I discovered after years of creative starvation: art isn’t frivolous ā€“ it’s essential to who we are as humans.

Now, as a full-time artist, I’m here to tell you that the voice saying you’re “not artistic enough” or “too old to start” is lying to you. Everyone has that creative spark ā€“ yes, even you. Sometimes it just takes the right tools and a little permission to let yourself be “irresponsibly” creative again.

That’s exactly what I’m here to help you do.
