Well, I spent most of the day figuring out glitches on the website and trying to sort out personal matters. When you do your own website, it can be really frustrating, but it can also be freeing because you can change things automatically. I have worked with WP for many years, but sometimes I still have to fight with it to get it to do what I want. Also, it doesn’t matter how much creative work you have to do, you also have to run a business. That takes up a lot of time. Sure, you can get others to do the office work for you. That would be ideal if you have the money to do it. Most artists don’t!
Even though I am just entering shows, creating, and posting this year, it is still taking up a lot of my time. The one thing I would suggest, though, is to take breaks or just leave what can by done for the next day.
I made a list on a sticky note for some things I want to accomplish on the site tomorrow. There is no hurry to do them today, so I can put off some of it for tomorrow. It is important, however, the write down what you are going to do so you aren’t floundering the next day and wasting time.
We will talk about the creative process and the incubation period vs goofing off in this blog. I’m very interested in what people do during this phase of the process. That’s for another day. I think I’ll put it on the list.
