'I have lists on lists': Kelly Wearstler shares her secrets to cultivating creativity
Briefly

"I've always had a creative spirit. I grew up with strong women in my life; my mom was the most creative out of all of them. Both my grandmothers worked full-time jobs. My mom would always go to thrift stores and break at every yard sale. I remember having an allowance, and fashion was my first foray into design. We would go to thrift stores and I'd say, 'Oh my god, I love that belt or scarf.' It was about educating my eye and having a wandering eye, being curious, looking at things, turning them over. That's why I love history, and things that are imperfect. Things that have soul."
"I am a creature of habit and I love organization. It's the key to success and allows me time. I have steady routines. I get up at 5 a.m. so I have time in the morning to myself. I read The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. I read digital magazines. I work out for an hour and half in the morning."
