Unless you are a full time artist, fitting art into the day is tough. There are things I have to do everyday,…laundry, meal planning, cleaning, cooking, home schooling. I try multiple ways to find some extra time to fit in some artwork, but it is HARD. It didn’t help at all when I got sick, and slowed things down some more. I have an ear infection ( yes at my age!) and it feels a lot better when I put a warm rice bag on my ear. So I put two rice bags in the microwave to warm for 3;33. Well, you can’t stare at the microwave that long, so I started picking up the kitchen while waiting … I was amazed! I can get the counters cleared and wiped, I can put some clean dishes away. Put dirty dishes in the dishwasher,…. really a lot can get done in 3;33. I don’t think I can get any actual art work done in three minutes. But now I know if I have a small amount of time, I can still get something accomplished. And while I am sitting with said warm rice bag on my ear, I can plan out some artwork, for when I am well again.
I hope this short Blog encourages you to see what you can get done in a few minutes, so that your house can still run smooth, and hopefully find some time for Art.
