Today is my first day of my routine for 2013. Our daughter is back at college, our son is back in high school after Christmas break and I am ready to start my day! November 1 was my first day for being a full time artist. The first six weeks were crazy busy, filling orders, making things, etc. Then Christmas, then New Years, taking down all the Christmas things, enjoying everyone home, now . . . . my new routine!
I am trying to get a schedule set up that will allow me to get all the things I want and need to get done, in a timely way. Hummmm. This may take some thinking!
Exercising,
meditating,
cooking more,
eating better,
keeping up with some rental property,
creating new jewelry,
listing on my website & Etsy,
keeping my charms stocked,
making new charms,
making LOTs more aquariums,
making lampwork beads,
teaching knitting classes,
teaching jewelry making classes,
posting on my sometimes forgotten blog,
Maudies Facebook updates,
a little bit of twitter,
driving my soccer playing son to practice,
oh and I guess, cleaning and laundry. (you can tell where that falls on my priority list!
Organizational skills are not my strong point but somehow I seem to get it all done. So I was going to try using a large calendar this year. Specify certain days to do certain things. Actually schedule exercise, time at my torch, paperwork & computer time, etc. It all sounds good in theory doesn't it!
I really need some structure when I am super busy and since this is a quieter time for me, I am going to take advantage of it and plan out my month!
Wish me luck!
