When family doesn't respect time blocks for unpaid creative work

My family keeps scheduling over my blocked writing time because they see it as 'optional' since it doesn't pay the bills yet but I need those boundaries to take my creative work seriously. Everyone says they're supportive but when push comes to shove my time gets sacrificed first and I don't know how to advocate for space that doesn't generate immediate family value.

Worth thinking about

“Where Are You with Time blocking and calendar sovereignty?”
