Honestly, I thought I was always good maybe even great at time management until this past weekend. Somehow I let the month of April fly by me without a second thought. Maybe it was due to the fact I was super excited that I had a niece born this month. I have also been editing these adorable dog photos from the Mutt Strut benefiting Hand in Paw that was over Easter Weekend. I am not really sure, but when I realized last weekend I only had 2 weeks - 14 days until the PreSchool Partner Food Truck Round Up and Art Show (for more information about the art show click here) I was like WAIT! I honestly thought I had another weekend somewhere between April 22nd and May 6th! Nope, nada, wrong! I worked a lot over the weekend and even skipped taking my dog a good long walk.
Time management is hard and I know I struggle with it sometimes. During these times when you realize you have way to much to do make sure you do some things for yourself as well.
Some suggestions:
1. If it is nice out take a short walk (if you have a dog take your dog with you). I take my dog on several short walks during the days I have to work on art all day. Sometimes we sit outside on one of our breaks. This always refreshed my mind.
2. If you are like me sometimes you forget about eating when you realize you don't have a lot of time. Make sure you make time to eat. If you have friends or family close by schedule a meal with them so you are able to take a break from your art.
3. Always schedule your time for your art, exercise, grocery shopping, etc. or at least try. Calendars are great. I have a paper calendar from Erin Condren click here to personalize your own. I love how there is a column for a to do list each week! I also use my calendar on my cell!
