Time for Art

I have plenty of ideas; just not enough time to work on them all.  How often have you heard someone say that or said it yourself?

I have given some thought to creating time for art. In the end, I can determine how I spend my free time. Here are some things I am doing today to create more time for art:

- Reduce the number of blogs that I follow (now 65 down from over 300). I focus on those most relevant to fiber arts or individuals that I really connect with. I follow blogs through Google Reader so I get a preview whenever my favorite blogs are updated.

- I will make lists of short term things to do and long term goals. Long term creative goals will become the screen saver on my PC.

- I will stop making everyday things overly complicated and simplify where possible.

- I will learn Photoshop. I will be more proficient, spend less time editing photos and get better results.

- Organize my studio. I will know what I have and where it is. Time should be spent creating not searching for some missing binding fabric.

Do you have any time savers or time creators? Please share!

A great time of year to re-assess what is important Suzan. Over the years I have re-defined, re-defined and re-defined again. I have decided it is an on-going activity, but when looking back it does work. All the very best.
