2018 Creative Kick-in-the-Pants

Do you need a creative kick in the pants?  I know at times I could certainly use one.  I would love to have more creative time, but I seem to find ways to fill that time.  You know....cleaning, laundry, feeding my family.

With a new year upon me, I have decided to be more intentional with my creative time.  This is something I have resisted because I felt like creativity should just "find me".  Well, that's not working.  Now I am going to be scheduling my creative time just like any other appointment.  

This decision means I have to establish a few other routine changes.  Number one....I need to have a more consistent schedule.  I am an artist who works out of my home and I homeschool our son.  This means my schedule is anything but consistent.  Some days we have field trips or enrichment classes.  Other days we are at home for school all day.  I know everyday is not going to be the same, but I can plan around those other events.

I also need to have my creative supplies ready, so when my scheduled time happens I have what I need on hand.  I can't waste my time looking for everything.  This also means having some creative projects ready, so I need to plan for some projects.

I know that I will find other adjustments along the way, but this is where I am starting.

Do you want to join me?  Do you want a kick in the pants?
