One of my past clients told me that even though I plant a big garden, play with my kids, and run the Artist Market Co, that I always look in control, sure, and elegant. ⁣

Do I feel in control and sure? Sometimes. ⁣

Elegant? Never.⁣

I do spend a ton of brainpower trying to manage my time better, though.⁣

I’m not talking about trying to figure out how to fit everything in. I learned I couldn’t do that a while ago. Instead, I try to take things OUT.⁣

I had a beautiful morning with my kiddos yesterday and decided I needed MORE of that. More time skipping rocks, looking at art, getting ice-cream, listening to Halloween playlists, and playing on the playground.⁣

I wasn’t in a rush, I was happy. ⁣

I want more.⁣

So I had an idea — ⁣

I decided to challenge myself to 40 hours of non-work time per week this month — even though I’m doing a launch for Anchored Artist 😬 — because I think anything is possible.⁣

Boundaries only make me more creative with finding solutions.⁣

I might curse myself out once in a while for giving myself such tight boundaries — my work time is already stretched so thin — but I’m doing it anyway because I know I’ll come out happier and more efficient on the other end.⁣

If you’re too busy to make time for the good stuff, I’m challenging you to join in, even if it’s only five hours a week. ⁣

Wanna play?

About the Author

Jessica Craddock

I mentor intuitive visual artists who are sick of one-size-fits all formulas sell more work, more consistently, at higher prices — with better work/life balance. My clients regularly make 3x more in art sales within a year.

Using my signature Consistent Income method, we’ll push you over the precipice of some really amazing growth so you can become the creator of your next chapter.

My secret sauce is that we focus on not just the "doing", but also the "being". Affirmations, trusting yourself, knowing when to go slow and when to go fast, practicing getting out of your comfort zone and making room for the feelings that go with that... all this is equally as important as the action steps.

For once, you'll be ahead of the game and understand what's right for you.
