RE: Clay, Crypto and Creative Process with Ruth Frances Greenberg
I think a lot of people disappeared from the steem ecosystem in June. I think it was a combination of factors including general negative sentiment of the prices being down, the beginning of summer, and maybe some fatigue with some of steemit's problems. In my case at least those factors played a role ( because I've had a break from steemit as well )
But now I'm trying to put the ideas that floated in my head the past 2 months I've been away like you, to good use.
Hope you can put that time you were away to good use in some shape or form. Cheers!
Glad we've both made it back! My time has been incredibly fruitful in terms of people and connecting in life but work not so much ;-) and of course no steemit. Really trying to get the wheels turning, keep in touch!!
tell me about getting the wheels turning... I'll have to become a mini expert at time managing with work, exams and other stuff going on :P
well not sure I have many words of wisdom since I'm not succeeding so well with it!! my challenge is that we've been without a home but more importantly without the headspace for my senses to resonate and to express my creative spirit for about 2 months. My creativity is flowing all the time, but I seem to need a little peace of freedom for my inner self to express it. It doesn't have to be a lot of time - in fact I can use 15 minutes really well - but it does have to be the right kind of "safe" window of time and space for my mind, heart, hands and spirit to all come together as one. Being able to find this peace in very different circumstances and ones that aren't at all conducive to nurturing this in me has been the challenge for me. So, first I had to stop blaming myself for not doing, and then find the tiny windows to use. I've become a bit of a hard-ass about deflecting distraction or interruption for those 15 minute segments (truly all I've been able to find). How about you, love to hear about your process and challenges and what you've found?
it's pretty simple in my case : I have to get better at time management and work on my focus so I can put my ideas to good use. I'm a nottorius time waster
time wasting can sometimes be fruitful for resting the busy mind, or it can just be a waste of time, lol! when I'm wasting time it's usually because I need something I'm not giving myself like my own undivided attention. once I notice it and do it, I'm focused again. how about you, what makes you waste time?
procrastination and anxiety, and the cure for those is not that simple as far as I can see
Ah yes, I agree, these aren't that simple ;-)), not just about structuring or restructuring!
