One particular subject has been on my mind the last couple of days - time management. Even though my 'real' job has been slow the past couple of weeks, and I've had some free time lately, I still feel like I don't accomplish as much as I should everyday. While I do try to do some beadwork everyday, I usually let everything else slide at the same time...
The other day, I was talking with an artist friend of mine about this subject, and he began to tell me how many chores he had to accomplish that day. I couldn't help but to ask "What do you really have to do today??" He said he had planned to do everything on his list. He also said that someday, he hoped to accomplish everything on his list so that he would eventually have time to paint or do something creative everyday. My response was "I just make myself do something creative everyday..."
But, when work starts to get busy, I can't always do that, and this week could be one of those weeks... I don't like to put my creativity on hold for very long, either... I was wondering, how do you manage your creative time when your real life starts to get busy? Do you make time to create art or beadwork everyday, no matter how many chores you have to do? And, if so, how much time do you allow per day?
Even if I'm unable to do any beadwork for a couple of days, I should at least be able to keep working on the backing for my 1943 Chevy fire truck. Today, I finished stitching the black Ultrasuede on the bottom half. As you can see, the white felt is no longer showing... Next, I'll start on the red...
