Week of Organization

This week is dedicated to organizing my business and my life. I'm sighing and groaning as I write this; but in an attempt to gain some control, I've decided to set aside the fun of the paint, the paper, the metal, the glass, and the other ephemera. No new artwork for me until the hard work is done. (Well... OK... maybe just a page or two in my journal and the occasional doodle in a margin.)

How did I get so far behind? I don't think that I'm alone in my struggle. Do I try to do too much? Or does life just require too much of a twenty-four hour day? Phone calls and email messages, meetings and classes, business and creating, family and friends. So much to do, and so little time! No matter how hard I try, sometimes I just seem to get further behind.

In spite of this, I'm optimistic. I will tackle my backlog; one message, list, and pile of paper at a time. Things will improve. This process will help me to be even more creative in the future. In fact, my reward for the effort will be a fabulous funky jewelry class next weekend.
Now that should provide the necessary incentive.

Wish me luck!
