July 4th Catastrophe of 2022 in Chicago

by Mary Lou 'LuLu' Haynes - Artist and Bricoleur

Howdy and Welcome,

So far, our summer has been horrible with catastrophic storm damage and minivan transmission woes!

Half of the hubby's inheritance has gone to paying tens of thousands of dollars to the electricians after the storm damage. That was money earmarked for down payment we hoped to buy our new house with this year. sigh...

      .Oh well, at least no one was hurt when the tree limb crashed down.

.The good news is, we decided to take a mini vacation to de-compress from all the stress.

Also, we haven't had flooding from the heavy rains. And we didn't get covid19...

Stay safe.

Thanks for stopping by.

Peace,

LuLu

'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?
