Pockets of Time

A Stitch in Time
Singing to myself "If I had time in a bottle...." right now. So, after my exhilarating meeting with my advisor, I found some direction to take for the past few weeks. More "buckets" to fill, but this time I felt a little more confident about what is to go in them. One major bucket this time was to turn the spotlight on myself and show you how and when I would find time to give to me.

Documenting my own journey by finding pockets of time to create and dream is still quite a challenge. Honestly, just stealing away for my own mental, spiritual and creative development seems so impossible. How would I go about making that happen? After I've given myself to everyone and everything else for the day, what is there left for me?


Perpetual Beta schedule round two.


Enter this schedule I devised! In the spirit of my perpetual beta, I sketched (yes, SKETCHED) out a schedule that theoretically will allow me some small windows of opportunity to work, play, dream, make, think... you get the idea.

The bulk of this precious time occurs in the evenings and on weekends. But I'm excited to at least put it down on paper (and in pencil) to try out. Perpetual beta, people! I think what's most important though is I've blocked a period of time when I.Do.Nothing. My own personal sabbath!

So how is that working out so far? Has this plan yielded any fruit for me? I can't answer that yet because I've only just thought of this brilliant beta schedule a few days ago. So check back with me in a few weeks to see what real fruit came of this tree.

In the meantime, I'd like for you to share your success or try again stories about finding time to create and dream! Have you found it easy or difficult to make time for your creative awesomeness?

  1. Very good to sketch out the time to create. It very genius. It is often hard to balance it all but I think you may be on to something. I look forward to seeing what comes of this.
