I get a lot of questions about time management and living a creative life and making a living in art. And I've given out lots of advice in the past (like this post on priorities). However I decided that it might be fun to keep track of what I do in a typical day and maybe that would give you an idea of what my life is like right now. However I kept putting it off because there was never a day that felt "typical." And then I realized that that is typical of my life! No two days are alike. So I decided to give you forty-eight hours of atypical typical.
This is Tuesday, August 23 and Wednesday, August 24:
7:00 am | Vaguely conscious of my husband leaving for the office and saying something to me.
8:00 am | Wake up. Check e-mail on my iphone. Go back to sleep.
9:45 am | Wake up. Check e-mail and read tweets on my iphone while lying in bed.
9:58 am | Brush teeth and sit down at computer to get the day started. Tasks include: importing photos from Maine trip, answering e-mail, booking hotel reservations for CHA Winter 2012, answering e-mails, answering blog comments, answering e-mail…and did I mention answering e-mail?
11:06 am | Stand up. Stretch. Drink a glass of water and eat a banana. And then back to the computer. So many more e-mails to answer.
11:16 am | Skype chat with my friend Nathalie Kalbach. Lots to discuss about our Mixed Media Circus event, some potential new sponsorship, and the usual industry ponderings.
12:00 pm | Hop onto conference call. Wait for ten minutes. I have the time wrong. Ooops.
12:12 pm | Order lunch from Seamless Web. Vietnamese Food. Yum!
12:13 pm | Continue to answer e-mail. Find out that my four-day Soy Wax Batik Class with Melanie Testa up at Hudson River Valley has been cancelled. Call City Quilter to sign up for their one-day Soy Wax Batik Class with Melanie Testa. It's sold out. Sigh.
12:30 pm | Conference call. My lunch arrives in the middle. I eat and talk and listen. And I sort of poke through Google Reader too.
12:54 pm | I start going through a week's worth of physical mail and play last night's Design Star in the background. Among the things in my mail: My copy of May Flaum's Scrapbook Workshop
1: 54 pm | My floor is shaking. Earthquake! I call my Mom, turn on the news, and start checking twitter.
2:29 pm | Check prices for travel to/from Toronto for upcoming classes at BizzyB in Toronto!
2:55 pm | Sick of answering e-mails. So I work on a blog post for my new little fun blog on eating out.
3:54 pm | Cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. Need to create some room on my desk so that I can work on a class sample.
4:37 pm | Put together a few kits for students who are last minute sign-ups at CREATE.
5:12 pm | Splash around in my art journal, working on the sample for tonight's class at The Ink Pad.
6:15 pm | Realize the time and scramble to get dressed and pack for class!
6:40 pm | Run out the door, stop by the pharmacy, hop in a cab and head for the West Village.
7:05pm | Grab a soda and a bottle of water and head into The Ink Pad.
7:15pm | Art Journaling Club. I love this class. And the students are awesome. I always leave class feeling excited and inspired. They really make me happy.
9:30pm | Do a little unnecessary shopping at The Ink Pad: StazOn Cleaner, polka dot tape, and a cool alphabet-in-a-circle stamp. But I touch every stamp in the store and knock down a few along the way. Ooops!
10:20 pm| Arrive home. Chat with the husband, who is on his way to bed. This is my favorite time of the day.
11:22 pm | Try to decide whether to have dinner or just head into the studio and get some work done. Check my e-mail while I'm thinking.
11:42 pm | Decide I am hungry. Time to boil water for some midnight pasta. Edit photos for blog post while water is boiling. Also talking on the phone with my Mother. Speaker phone is a fantastic invention.
12:25 am | Finished eating. Back at the computer, working on a half finished blog post for tomorrow.
12:43 am | Feel tired, but there's so much to do! I leave for Chicago on Thursday morning and I haven't unpacked from Maine yet! Fiddle around with stuff. Edit photos. Clean some stamps. Too tired.
1:18 am | Carve a rubber stamp because cleaning the stamps makes me want to carve stamps. I want to see if I can carve script. I've never tried.
1:44 am | I've got a thousand and one ideas running through my head! But I'm kind of scattered and all over the place and don't actually get much done.
2:45 am | My head hits the pillow and I'm out like a light.
9:54 am | Check e-mail on my iphone while in bed. Sigh. So many tasks to begin the day with. Chat with the husband who is on his way to work.
10: 12 am | Get up and head to the computer. Build a triage list for the day. (1) Must unpack from Maine trip (2) Must pack for Chicago (3) Must finish class samples for BizzyB classes. Second tier to do's: (1) Stencil Hop information (2) Call Anna from Crafty Girls Workshop (3) Figure out Friday's Art Journal Every Day post.
10:45 am | Gathering all of the art supplies for Chicago. Printing supply lists and trying to sort it all out.
11:32 am | Call Anna at Crafty Girls Workshop to discuss the details of the workshop I'll be teaching there in October.
11:55 am | Working on the supply list for the Crafty Girls Workshop class.
12:02 pm | Lunch. Watching the news and they say that Hurricane Irene is coming and will hit NYC on Sunday. I'm supposed to fly from to Chicago to NYC on Sunday. Lovely.
12:40 pm | Must unpack. I clean the kitchen while I'm at it.
1:06 pm | Must pack. Making a packing list. What do I really need? I clean the living room while I think.
1:39 pm | Packing in earnest. Clothes get packed quick enough. Packing the art supplies and finishing up some last minute kits is arduous. Ick. I *hate* kitting classes. The best part of teaching in NYC is that no one ever expects a kit. Love, love, love that! Makes teaching such a supreme joy!
4:01 pm | Take a break to surf the internet.
4:12 pm | I reink my Distress Ink Pads before packing them. Supply maintenance is an important thing to do. It's easy to neglect, but keeping your paints, mists, inks, brushes, and so on in good shape makes for easier creating in the long run.
4:30 pm | Feeling hungry. Time for Microwave S'mores. Place a marshmallow on top of a L'Petit Ecolier cookie. Microwave for 15 seconds. The chocolate melts and the marshmallow expands. Yum!
5:14 pm | Prepping for CREATE continues. I'm shining up class samples and organizing my notes. I'm hunting for supplies. Need to finish packing!
5:39 pm | Mostly finished packing. Time to hop into the shower.
6:34 pm | Time to work on those class samples for BizzyB!
7:30 pm | Covered in paint and nothing is working. I feel so frustrated that I can hardly stand it! Aaaaargh! This is one of the problems with creating class samples. You have to strongly limit supplies and right now I'm also on a huge time crunch. Very frustrating combination. Total performance anxiety and nothing looks good to me!
8:30 pm | Time to leave for dinner. The reservation is at 9pm.
8:45 pm | I arrive at Mas Farmhouse and have a Diet Coke while I wait for my husband to arrive. I sketch some ideas out for the Canadian classes. Might as well use the time I have. That's why I always carry a little Moleskine sketch book in my purse.
9:10 pm | We're seated at a cozy table in the back. We have the chef's tasting menu and it is superb!
11:40 pm | We hail a cab to take us home.
12:23 am | I've still got packing to do and this blog post to finish. Need to edit photos and maybe I'll finish the packing in the morning. I'm exhausted right now.
12:50 am | I see my art journal just sitting on my desk and I flip it open for a few minutes of "me" time. I had done the background previously, so I mostly worked on the figure in the center. Not loving how it looks now, but it will come along with time. I have faith in that.
1:07 am | Back to finishing this blog post. Photograph what I've done in my art journal and finish this post.
1:20 am | Send a few more e-mails. Finish up "packaging" a class. Review this post for spelling mistakes.
1:54 am | Hit "publish." And I'm off to bed!
So what conclusions are there to draw from this account of forty-eight hours in my life?
- I see very little of my husband. Which is not a good thing, but it does mean I have the time to get a lot done.
- There is lots and lots of "not fun" stuff to do once art making becomes a business and not a hobby. You don't get to do just the fun stuff anymore. There's a lot of e-mail and paperwork and creating on demand. Most of my day is this kind of stuff, not the fun art making. I'd like to change that balance somehow.
- I pretty much work from the time I get up to the time I go to sleep.
- It is often on the busiest days that I am suddenly overtaken by the need to create "just for me." Witness the stamp that I carved after midnight last night and the art journal page I worked on tonight.
- I am a multi-tasker. I am often talking on the phone while cleaning. Or I try to find little moments to work — like in the shower, or at the restaurant tonight while I was waiting.
- It's funny reading all this back because I feel like I didn't get any of the things done today that I wanted to. But when I look at how much I actually did, I feel kind of proud of myself for pushing it out.
I hope you enjoyed this peek into my crazy crafty life. Does it look at all like forty-eight hours in your life?
That’s a couple of CRAZY days! Hope you find more time with your husband. My days do not look at all like yours, but I hope within the year, mine look more like yours and less like mine!

Thanks, Julie, for so honestly portraying the life of the business artist. I often think I’d like to take my art from hobby level to business. Then I read a post like this and realize it’s not all creative play time. My life doesn’t look much like yours in a few ways – I’m a morning person getting up shortly after you get to bed plus I have four kids in my mix – but it’s nice to know that we ALL have moments in our days that just don’t go according to plan and that you can’t force creative energy. Sometimes you just have to take it when it hits you. Love this type of post! You keep it real!

Julie: You write the best blog posts. So substantial and informative. I really appreciate the work you put into them. I come into work at my law firm job and read your blog first thing–great “right brain” recognition first thing in the day.
Thank you.

I can appreciate how much time it takes just to write such a link-heavy, photo-heavy post, much less everything else that went on in your 48 hours!

I read every word, and loved it. Life does seem to get in the way of creative time, doesn’t it? Hope all goes well with your Chicago trip.
Yesterday I was behind a car and thought of you! It was a Blazer, but I first read it as “Balzer!!” I love reading your blog posts, Julie!
Have fun. Breathe in. Breathe out. Repeat.

Julie, I’m worn out just reading that. I too hope you can carve more time out for your hubby and eat healthy meals! Sure wish I could be there in Chicago for your class. Thanks for giving us a peek into your busy life.

I have recently started following your blog because I really got interested in your art journaling everyday. I just started an art journal about a week ago and I’m loving it! I wanted to get the hang of it more before I start sharing pages, but thanks so much for your awesome inspiration!! I also live in Manhattan in the village and I feel like I’ve seen the Ink Pad before…where is it? I would definitely like to go check it out!!

WOW! Thank you for sharing your 48 hours! I’m exhausted just my reading it. I hope you are able to find the balance you want for me time and time with your husband. Does he love what you do?

Hi Julie, I love your blog and read it regularly. Nice to see you get about the same amount of time in your journal as I do! But one thing you didn’t mention in the list of what you noticed, is that you don’t eat! Well, not real food anyway (except the banana, and maybe when you went out for dinner). Need to make more time for your body’s fuel so you can get all the energy you need for your busy life! Wish I was at Busy Bee (only a few hours away) with you, but hopefully you will come back and then I can go.

I am thankful my life isn’t that crazy. I really am. It’s exciting for you and I know that once your art becomes a business, your life changes.. I get that.. I fiercely protect my peace, my calm, my time with my loved ones in my life. Reading your post just made me tired tired tired. I am praying for you that somehow you will find the way to slow down. To really enjoy the ppl that matter to you.
hugs… just how I feel. xo bonitarose

Julie, Julie, Julie… what a great sense of perspective you have shown in this post. You have a very crazy, creative life and you obviously thrive on it – for the time being. A little more “you & hubby” time can be scheduled in so at least you get to see more of each other, but art as business is hard.
You’re a shining example though, so keep at it! xoxoxo

Makes me realize that I love crafting as a hobby!
You sleep a lot less than I do but I am older and need more sleep (plus you live in the city that never sleeps). LOL
I always appreciate your honesty in your posts Julie.
WOW…busy busy busy…you are.

crazy man… but wonderful. I thought you must spend about that much time creating and hop-around-working, and be fairly spontaneous, but driven.
what would happen if you couldnt work at the level you do? I guess you’d just do things in a different way.
thanks for the window into your life!

I know for a fact that I could not do art as a business….I enjoy DOING the art itself much more than having to be on a schedule with it. Reading your post made me realize it even more. Luckily there are people out there like you who can do it….the teachers and idea-makers. Thanks for all your hard work!

Firstly…you should get an award for a great posting! Secondly, as a professional trainer (but not in art), I totally agree about putting ‘kits’ together..yuck!..I had training manuals to put together..copy, punch holes, check pages, proof read, find flyers, search internet for up-to-dates, on and on. I decided that maybe I needed I different job just because of that. Thirdly, you have become a name brand, an ‘institution’ and should have an assistant…this would lower your net income, but give you back your life…the usual trade off. And finally, the professional life of an artist…very tough. My cousin finally gave up oil painting despite his major success over the years…it broke up his marriage and family life, as it was all consuming. Finding balance…our life quest. Hang in there.

My word, girl! I think you need a virtual assistant to help with the day-to-day stuff – perhaps answering emails or something! Your husband must be very understanding. But, if I learned anything from my first marriage – keep the couple first – and everything else after. I don’t miss a word you put out…. I marvel at your creativity and I wish you were my neighbor! LOL
Keep up the fantabulous work you do and share with us all!
My word, girl! I think you need a virtual assistant to help with the day-to-day stuff – perhaps answering emails or something! Your husband must be very understanding. But, if I learned anything from my first marriage – keep the couple first – and everything else after. I don’t miss a word you put out…. I marvel at your creativity and I wish you were my neighbor! LOL

Woah! Makes my life look like a nap, and I thought I was busy! I get it that when your passion becomes your business, it changes it for you. This is why when people say, “That’s so cute, you ought to sell these,” I say, no, then it wouldn’t be fun any more. However, there’s the other part, the quote that says for a job, do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life. Hmmmmm.

Sounds like crazy fun to me! I loved this post and appreciate the time it took to create it. (should have added that onto your 48 hours! i bet that was hard to fit in!)
I know that the more I create, the more things I do, the more i get done. You just get in a groove and i think it feels fantastic, but you might want a nap here and there! 🙂
I don’t know if you are planning kids or not, but……..need i say more?? LOL! 🙂

No it looks nothing like my day unfortunately. I have kids in school so my day always has to start at 6 am and usually ends at 10 (latest). Thats not surprising. It kinda gets that way once you have kids. BUT.. What gets me is your mom is up at 11:40 at night??? Wowsers. My mom is in bed at like 9pm. lol. I should do a post like this though its fun to read. 🙂 I like your outfits!!!

With the exception of being in and out of the house/studio a few more times during the day, and working an average of two hours everyday while I’m out, your day pretty much divides like mine. You’ve inspired me to follow myself around for a couple of days just to see if I really do what I think I do, and see if a slice of my life would make good blog fodder.
A HUGE thank you for including the Petit E’colier s’mores! The day before yesterday I went to the cupboard thinking that what I really wanted was a s’more, but no graham crackers or chocolate, so I “settled” for a milk chocolate Petit E’colier. If only I had thought to put a marshmallow on top and zap it…..

Amazingly enough it sounds quite a lot like my day! At last someone who keeps similar hours! I have 4 kids but one is now at university & my husband takes the other 3 to school. I do wake up early to get their hair done, etc, then straight back to bed to refuel! All day long I’m in my studio either on my pc or at my creating counter, except when I am popping out to fetch & carry kids hither & nither. Hubs even helps with the cooking (we share it) I shop & prepare & wash up. He cooks. Kids dry & put away. My studio is next to the lounge where everyone chills & the dining-room where all the homework takes place so I’m still with everyone & available if need be, but can still get on with stuff. I loved this post & should do one of my own some time! Thanks for the effort. I am new to your blog but will keep on reading!!

wow!! being creative really IS your life, literally, isn’t it?!? My day typically starts and ends a lot sooner than yours (up at 5 am to get the dogs their breakfast and get ready to make my 45-min commute to work… in bed by 9 pm), but I don’t pack nearly as much into my day as you do.
I envy your non-commute to work! (although I know I personally wouldn’t have the discipline to do it myself, lol!)
thanks for sharing a bit of your non-routine with us!!

Wish I were your neighbor and I’d volunteer to come over and do the kitting. Really, I would do that. Your day is nothing like mine. I live in MN, very near to South Dakota, in a very rural area….. need I say more?

Hi Julie,

Wow–that was some 48 hours! I am considering opening an Etsy shop and I am finding it really kind of, well, scary. I’m afraid it won’t be much fun anymore and will “ruin” art for me. Your entry has made me think a little more.
Of course, sometimes I overthink–and I never take the chance I need to take to make something happen. Not sure what to do. But I will say thanks for a realistic glimpse into your life.

You are such a persistent and concentrate person.
Once I ‘submerge’ inside the blog world, i’ll tense to forget my task that i plan earlier.

Although I keep an office job going in the midst of my love of crafting and art journaling–your busy, wonderful life made me realize one thing. That somehow, I need to get into a class and be with people in my own tribe sometimes! I have made so many wonderful crafty, talented blogger friends, they do not live near me! Thank you for sharing this Julie (even though you shared it last year, I’m just now discovering and enjoying very much your blog) –Sandy Leigh

Loved seeing what you did in the 24 hours. Wow, its amazing all you accomplish. Have you thought of hiring a Virtual Assistant? they could do a lot of those mundane chores for you. I love your blog posts and your classes are great. My favorites are your stencils. I just got a bunch of them and love them. Have a great day!
