A Juggling Act

All of a sudden I am so busy and my thoughts and mind are going in a hundred directions. Many of you are fortunate and successful enough to be working full time at your art. I have a feeling we all fight against the clock . . .

How do you juggle:

- A full time job to pay the rent, put food on table and pay for those art supplies!
- Study art. There are three art books on my night stand. Classroom hours over 8, at least 8 hours outside the classrom with assigments.
- Accept commissions (a VERY new dimension to my life!)
- Build a portfolio, learn photography, make business cards, flyers, contact potential clients
- oh yeah, maintain relationships, eat, sleep

I have three projects going now and one in the wings (a second commission - WOW). I would love to hear how my favorite artists - YOU ! ! ! manage to keep your life in balance.
