I can't believe how fast time goes by when I'm in "design mode".
Yes... "design mode." Graphic design, that is.
I've been trying to put Calley first lately, being that I can get lost in my computer.
Once I log on, be it morning, noon or night, I'm "into" my computer for at least forty-five minutes... and that's just checking email and my blogs {for comments and what not}.
Now... if I get into "design mode".. foeget about it! I can get "into" my computer for hours on end.
However... there's a MAJOR draw back... a dark cloud if you will. My Calley... my house... my husband... just life in general ... it all can get neglected.
So to avoid addiction... I must plan ahead and tread lightly when I know I have to be on the computer for a while.
When I know it is inevitable and I must get some work done, I must first prepare.... I make sure Calley is not hungry, I make myself a snack, then I set Calley up right next to me, we pick a movie for her to watch... press play and i get to work. {because I can not take my eyes off of her.. she just gets into too much trouble}
Preparing as I do, I am guaranteed at least two hours of uninterrupted creativity. {and} if done right... I am able to do this once in the morning and if necessary, I can squeeze in another "session" once more in the afternoon..
However... I must say, once the movie is over, I MUST step away from my laptop and turn my attention to Calley. Today, we prettied up her room. :)
If I do not do take the above measures... foeget about it!
I will not get any work done what-so-ever...
{and} would be setting us up for failure.
A rod and a reprimand impart wisdom, but a child left undisciplined disgraces its mother. ~Proverbs 29:15

Peace...
... for a, l & c. You are my sunshine(s).
