'The SECRET to MAKE More TIME!' plus a Freebie!

by Mary Lou 'LuLu' Haynes - Artist and Bricoleur

Howdy and Welcome!

I'm back for a hot minute, but I had to share this with you...

Today I got an email from an artist whose mailing list includes me. In it, she claims that no one can make more time. I responded back to her email, that we CAN all make more time. 

I’ve found the (not so) SECRET solution aka Time Management.

 

The SECRET for ‘making more time’ is:

1. prioritizing,
2. nixing time wasters,
3. planning (focus and work your plan),
4. just say ‘no’ to everything non-goal related,
5. reducing commitments.

Try these tips for 1 day, 1 week, 1 month - then comment on this post below on your results.

I have been using these tips for about 3 years - and they work great for me. I am moving closer to some goals, and accomplishing others!

Freebie!

P.S. I love my two Tim Holtz Tonic glass mats. I use the large right-handed mat in my main craft studio. The small travel glass mat is the left-handed version that I use on the desk in my upstairs computer office. Do you use either of these TH glass mats?

'WOYWW - 12/22 - To Do Wreath'

by Mary Lou 'LuLu' Haynes

Howdy and Welcome,

Here are a bunch of little projects that need doing. Because I usually work on multiple projects, I'll make a post-it note for each to show what to do next.

1. Embossed metal tape - to paint and sand
2. a) Stencil - to texturize a collages with molding paste and gesso. b) postcard for an art contest to consider entering
3. Homemade blending tools (round velcro dots on corks) for alcohol inks in repurposed alphabet stamps storage container - to find a 'home' until summer when I'll have ventilation
4. Homemade stamps - to develop a tutorial on 'how to make your own stamps'
5. a) original prototype mandala - to create shapes in Photoshop for drawing some digital mandalas. b) wrapping paper - to tear up for collages and store
6. picture of barn - to paste on one of my art journal pages
7. packing list for next scrapbooking crop - to put in my scrapbooking backpack
8. flyer of Tim Holtz techniques - to read and try some new techniques

Sometimes my workspace seems to be more about organizing than about making art. It would be so nice to have more counter space so this workstation could be dedicated exclusively to creating  art - and organizing would be at a different station!

What about you? Is your workstation exclusively dedicated to creating art? Or does yours also get swamped with organizing projects?

I'd love to see your comments about this post - or any of my other posts. Meanwhile, Here are some more workstations for Whats On Your Workstation Wednesday?

Peace,
LuLu
