Do you ever feel like life is constantly getting in the way of your work? As an artist, I certainly know the feeling. Recently, I’ve been participating in a spring stay-at-home residency that’s made me acutely aware of how quickly time passes. It’s been eye-opening to see just how much time I’ve been spending on things that aren’t work-related. But I’m determined to change that. By identifying the patterns that are holding me back, I can work on correcting my course and become more productive. And I know I’m not alone in feeling like time slips away too quickly. With a little focus and determination, we can make every minute count and achieve our goals – no matter what distractions life may throw our way.
