It’s Saturday: Step Away from the Day Job
Posted by RebaWG in Time for Creativity on July 16, 2011
Today is my only day home this week. Literally. I’ve been on the road for the Day Job since Monday, arrived home last night and hit the road (yet again) tomorrow.
So what did I choose to do with my one free day? Something fun, right? Something creative, right? Something relaxing, right? Not exactly. It’s already 2:20 on a Saturday and I’ve spent the morning and part of the afternoon working on Day Job stuff. Pretty pathetic, I know.
Now in my defense, I don’t have the kind of Day Job where I’m working for “the Man.” At my job, I am “the Man.” Still, I need to be more protective in the future of my “me” time. Scratch that. Forget about the future and let’s get this party started now.
Time to get the music goin’ and the paint (and cocktails?) a-flowin’…!
Make Art While the Sun is Shining

Do ever wish you had unlimited time to be creative? Do you think you would be more prolific if only you had more time?
Ironically, the busier I am, the more creative I feel and the more projects I actually begin (and complete). It’s during the expanses of time when I have the opportunity to do whatever I want that creative procrastination and artist block often sets in.
Let’s not put off creativity. Let’s do what we can while we can with whatever we have on hand. When inspiration knocks, let’s answer the door and let him in… (we never know when he’ll show up again).
