Thursday Two Questions Meme - Finding Time
The Chinese Chestnut Tree, my favorite tree at the San Francisco Botanical Gardens.
I have begun writing again on Hubpages and Bubblews, thanks Icy for the info on Bubblews. My passion for writing has been refreshed and I find I am writing on a daily basis which means I am finally making money writing. It's a great feeling.
What I also have found is that I just don't have enough time in the day between going to work, writing and photographing. I know many of you who read this blog are writers, photographers and artists. My two questions for you this week are:
1. How do you find time each day to pursue your creative talents?
2. Do you set priorities?
Also a side note to all of you. The heart versus head working situation I have experienced in the past month or so has been resolved with a positive outcome. I am still working at my beloved garden with a promotion and raise in hand. I thank you all for your thoughts and advice and as true to myself, I went with my heart and am so glad I did.
I will also be using this blog primarily as a website. I will update it when time allows.

There really isn't time for everything. So I do first what needs to be done (pay bills, wash clothes, household chore, etc--I am retired, how did we ever do all this before retiremnt?) and then what pleases me. Or do nothing.
2. Do you set priorities?
When I make a list, it has priorities and I get more done than when there isn't a list.
Good thoughts, Joanne, and I liked your questions a whole lot.

I do and most of the time I follow through.
1) I rarely sleep anymore, not that I don't want to, so I wake up and start writing, blogging, messing around with my photos rather than laying there tossing and turning!
2) Yes, I set priority to do what I must, but my thoughts are always on what to write next :-)
It really is hard to find time, but I always say just make a list and a use a time frame.
I'm glad you are enjoying writing and that your creative juices are flowing.
1)I never have enough time. I have 3 kids and they have different demands. I also have been thinking that while I let the first two grew up too fast without me really enjoying them, I wonder what can I do to make sure I am enjoying my youngest to the fullest? Writing in peace / or uninterrupted is not something I have right now. I write whenever when I can, between other obligations and appointments I enjoy writing for some weirdness here. You wouldn't think I was the type.
2) Yes. I have to do the tasks that must be done first. The latest trick is that I force myself to quit when it is time to go to bed. I also trained myself to be okay with quitting and coming back to work on it a little at a time.
