Jump start

The countdown has begun. I leave for the Crow Barn in less than 3 days. I am so looking forward to a full week immersed in creative endeavors. Over the last year my creativity has stalled out due to family obligations which seemed to snowball to a general inability to get excited about doing anything. I look at my supplies sitting on shelves and feel guilt not anticipation. I believe this coming week will jump start my creative engine. I so much want to wake up every morning excited about getting into the dye room.

I think I may need to have some deadlines to keep me motivated. My local guild holds a show each year that I have vended at in the past. I think I should begin building inventory for that or maybe put together a few classes. I also need to research online venues. eBay frustrates me, Etsy is not easy to use for volume listings and all the other sites are too obscure to invest time in. Having my own website would be my choice, I just need to find someone to put it together.

The first thing I need to do is put together a list of all the things I was to accomplish, then prioritize it. This is a real problem for me. What I call extreme multi-tasking. I start one project and think "what if" and off I go in another direction...........
