It happens to me a lot when I'm truly burnt out—usually a project has taken much longer than expected and I've started to lose enthusiasm and even gotten bored… getting sidetracked is so much more fun sometimes and even better when something beautiful and creative comes out of it!Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00899414809146265629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271508841165439447.post-55606717334840911292015-03-16T22:42:38.526-04:002015-03-16T22:42:38.526-04:00I'll happily come organize your studio for you...I'll happily come organize your studio for you, Jen… in exchange for a few beads! ;-) I actually love to organize and cleanup—I always have! These days with such limited time, I try to put up with the mess longer than I used to, but if I don't keep up with it, it finally gets to a point where I simply refuse to make anything until I've done a thorough clean-up—those days I usually declare an all-day cleanup!Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00899414809146265629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271508841165439447.post-36210373680016970732015-03-16T22:32:47.094-04:002015-03-16T22:32:47.094-04:00So true Terrie!

It's so hard sometimes when the deadlines are looming to allow that downtime, but I am much more productive (and happy!) than I would have been if I had just forced myself forward. I'm learning to be more self-aware and to quickly recognize the problem… even just that and reminding myself that I've overcome the problem many times, is encouraging. Getting in more "nothing" days to just enjoy life and the things that inspire me is my goal for the year! It's wonderful to hear from someone else who has made it all work—good for you! :-)Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00899414809146265629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271508841165439447.post-11335703308915840462015-03-16T22:19:00.150-04:002015-03-16T22:19:00.150-04:00Yes, is sure is!

For me, down time is SO important to allowing for the rejuvenation of creativity. I have to be careful not to overschedule my time, and also to specifically set aside time where I am ding nothing but allowing the wash of the world to come through. Good sleep, a quiet environment and avoiding stress are the key components in my recipe. As I find inspiration in nature, antique design and historic architecture, I am sure to include these elements in my life, and allow myself the freedom TO be aware of them when in those environments!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14852343096092216212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271508841165439447.post-57961484349618067562015-03-14T13:04:10.509-04:002015-03-14T13:04:10.509-04:00Thank you, Rebekah.
