Back in August of 2011 I wrote a post that covered forty-eight hours of my life. My life is very different now than it was back in 2011 and so I thought I'd share an updated forty-eight hours with you today.
10:29 am | Wake up and check e-mail, twitter, and instagram on my phone. Bad habit, but I do it every day.
10:43 am | Contemplate staying in bed forever.
10:45 am | Open curtains, brush teeth, etc.
10:49 am | Studio Time: Use a gold marker to touch up the soap dispenser and then feel the need to play with the gold marker in my art journal.
11 am | Breakfast
11:13 am | Computer Time: process payments, answer e-mails, etc.
11:22 am | A phone call = doodle time. Back to the studio!
11:31 am | Shower.
12:03 pm | Set up photo tent and take photos.
12:31 pm | Studio Time: art journaling to tackle!
12:52 pm | Blow dry hair, get dressed, and put on makeup.
1:14 pm | Now that I have my face on, it's time for photoshoot #2 of the day: me with bags. Set up tripod and backdrop and get going!
1:28 pm | Upload photos. They don't look good. Too dark and many of them are blurry. Remind myself that I must buy a remote for my camera at some point. So much easier than having to use the timer and run back and forth.
1:33 pm | Photoshoot #3 of the day.
1:51 pm | Upload photos. At least one or two good ones. Time to edit the photos in Photoshop.
2:22pm | Lunch & HGTV. That channel is like a drug.
3:38 pm | Once again, a phone call = art journaling time. Back to the studio!
4:14pm | Computer Time: Write blog posts to go with all the photos.
5:30 pm | Leave for class.
6:00 pm | MoMA class: The Materials and Techniques of Abstract Expressionism. It was an amazing class! Great lectures — one in the classroom and one in the galleries — and then we stretched our own canvases!
9:00 pm | Class ends. Start the very cold walk towards home. Pick up dinner at the Halal cart on 53rd & 6th (it's really good and cheap — there's always a line).
9:33 pm | Arrive home and eat dinner.
10:11pm | Computer Time: Continue to work on blog posts.
12:27 am | Personal Time: phone calls, reading, YouTube videos, etc.
2:15 am | Get into bed.
10:13 am | Wake up and check e-mail, twitter, and instagram on my phone.
10:23 am | Open curtains, brush teeth, etc.
10:36 am | Breakfast. This is a pretty typical breakfast for me: 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt and lots of fruit, drizzled with a tbsp of maple syrup. Oh, and of course, a big glass of water!
10:53 am | Phone call = doodling time. Into the studio I go!
11:13 am | Studio Time: making Valentine's Day cards today! Even the sewing machine gets involved!
1:30 pm | Important business call on speaker phone. Need to pay attention, but gluing leftover pieces of deli paper into my art journal instead.
2:09 pm | Shower.
2:36 pm | Lunch.
3:04 pm | Set up the photo tent again. Dream of having a space where I could have a permanent photo set up. Take photos of the Valentine's Day cards.
3:36 pm | Computer Time: Upload photos, edit photos, and write blog post about them.
4:29 pm | Blow dry hair, put on makeup, try on a million outfits. Eeek! I'm going to an important event tonight and can't figure out what to wear. I want to make a good first impression.
5:56 pm | Settle on an outfit. Feel nervous that I've made the wrong choice.
5:58 pm | Computer Time: wander through Pinterest, read blogs, etc.
6:45 pm | Head for the subway. Wonder why I thought it was a good idea to wear a skirt when it's below freezing outside? Also wonder why I wore a shoe with a heel?
7:05 pm | Check in at the event. Feel even more nervous.
9:36 pm | I made a new friend tonight. She's funny and great and we trade business cards. Time to head for the subway. Brrrrrr. It's cold outside!
10:22 pm | Arrive home. Wonder if it's too late to eat dinner? Decide that it's okay to eat something quick. Make dinner and eat it.
11:04 pm | Studio Time: Work in my art journal and then decide it's time to carve a new stamp.
1:13 am | Computer Time: Answer e-mails, process payments, etc.
1:48 am | Personal Time: phone calls, reading, YouTube videos, etc.
3:45 am | Realize how late it is and go to bed.
Whew.
Well, the first question is, is that typical? The answer is: to a certain extent. There's nothing typical in your life when you're freelance. Each day holds its own agenda and challenges.
My work life tends to operate in binge cycles. This forty-eight hours happens to be in the midst of a blog project binge cycle. I was really focused on getting projects done, photos taken, and posts written. Other days I might be focused on updating my website — and end up spending three days on the computer with no time in the studio. Or I might have a deadline I'm racing to meet and be solely focused on getting that task done.
The biggest thing that I notice is that I used to be a serious work-a-holic. Wake up and work and go to sleep. These days I'm managing to take the time to make healthy food and giving myself some personal time. I'm seeking balance. And that's a very good thing. I definitely haven't gotten it quite right yet, but I feel like I'm on my way. :)
How about you? What does forty-eight hours in your life look like?
Thanks for stopping by!
This was so fun to read, love hearing about your days. How fun to be you for 48 hours. Way to go on balancing your days now and making time for other stuff and healthy eating. I’m trying to balance my days better too, it’s a slow process but getting there. This year I’m trying to get out more too, visit my family and just getting out more while kids are at school.
I don’t know how you can stay up so late though, I’m in bed by 10 most nights.
Thanks for sharing this, love this peek into your life.

Well my day is much different in that it starts at 5:30 a.m. with taking the dog out and ends at 8:30 p.m. with taking the dog out. In between I go to the dog park, do domestic goddess activities, read, try to decide what to cook for dinner, cook dinner, dishes, time with my son, talk to my hubby briefly before he has to go to bed to get up and do it all over again. Brief moments of putting paint in my art journal and right now using as much embossing paste as possible (I am so loving the texture)!

Julie, you have always been a role model to me. Reading this post has made me realize I waste a lot of time… (Not proud about it) you do sooo much during your day and I totally see balance!!! Thank you so much for the inspiration!!!
BTW.., I also check emails, FB, twitter and Intagram in bed… 5:30 am (but I go to bed at 11pm : )

Wondered about your photo tent. What kind is it? I take pictures on my table with white paper in a cardboard box which is not the best solution. What a busy day you have. At least I do not have to put up with freezing weather here in Fl. LOL

You look gorgeous, love your work, tough schedule but so lucky that you work for yourself. Know that Halal stand well, we always stay at the Hilton when we return for home visit. There is always a line, even at 4 in the morning. Know this cause i went there with daughter after her nite of partying-ugh!

Yes…I agree with others who posted. I loved reading about how you manage your day. I am an early riser and prefer to be in bed by 10 pm. Pinterest can be addicting and I realize I need to make art instead of looking at other’s art work during that free time. My art space is so tiny that keeping it an organized chaos to allow room to work seems to be my biggest challenge. It was fun to see your space and set up. Thanks so much for sharing. Iam a big fan!!

Wow…love seeing how the other side lives once in a while. With 3 boys my 48 hours is very different from yours. I’d love to sleep until 10 and stay up until 3 but the alarm goes off at 6 so early to bed I go. I’m barely managing to stay up until Jimmy
Fallon ends at midnight. I documented 24 hours in my life about 7 years ago…I should do it again. Thanks for the inspiration!

Such fun to read, look and follow you for 48 hours! But to read it straight through I felt that “I’m sure glad Julie is young, energetic etc!!!, Me, age about to be 75, retired teacher, full-time artist and musician….my life is not like that…..” . Then I gave myself a good dose of “reality check”! Since when do I act like 75? since when do I not cram every hour of the day and often part of the night with painting, drawing, journalling , violin practice……….etc???? LOL! As one of my friends in my urban sketch group ask me two weeks ago, “Elsie, with all you are doing, do you ever sleep?” LOL!! Art is life, Life is art and we live Art-Full lives! But, you are such an inspiration in art and also in proving to yourself and to all of us how important it is to take care of ourselves and eat right as well! I really look forward to your blogs! Thanks!

Interesting… See a peak into your life. And to answer your question – I’m not really sure what 48 hrs of my life looks like – I will give it a try!

Fun review. I check email and stuff in bed too – lol! I’m up at 6:30am, have to get ready so I can take the kids to school at 8:15am. Always watching the clock! Ugh – wish I had your kind of freedom. Pretty busy though – which is how you are so productive.
Thank!

Thanks Julie. Funny thing but I was just wondering what does happen in the lives of my favourite freelance online artists and presto you came up with yours. I guess I was thinking that I don’t spend my time wisely, but I think there is a goal running around in our head constantly that believe it or not keeps us at it.
Blessings, Linda

That’s practically my day to a T! Except for the glamor part. LOL
Also, I beat myself up EVERYDAY for waking up late. I let people make me feel bad about it. I try to live a different lifestyle, but I just can’t. I’ve been this way forever-needing to sleep late.
Do you deal with that guilt at all? I hope not.

P.S. Today, I’m trying something new. Starting my day with some art. Because, I usually wait until everything else is done and in the end, no art gets done. 🙁

Julie, what is that round photo booth called, and where can one get one? Also, you looked awesome in the outfit you picked, but I do agree with your conclusions about the skirt and heels! Been a loooong time since I was in New York City, but I know the feeling!

Great post Julie; I read the first one you wrote as well. You are inspiring and make me feel so lazy 🙂 I can’t believe your Mom is up at those hours. My Mom & Dad are asleep by 9 PM most nights. I work full-time and I’m an early-to-bed type myself. I find that I waste too much time on Facebook & Pinterest; time that could be spent making art. I tend to promise myself that ‘this weekend I’ll make some art’ and then end up spending too much time online and the time gets away from me. I’m a huge fan of yours and hope your energy level stays as it is; you are an inspiration for a huge group of people. Like others have mentioned too, I’m glad to see that you’re taking care of yourself. I need to do that myself but haven’t found the motivation yet. Good luck to you!!

Oh my gosh – this was so fun to read! Your life as a single woman/artist in the city is sooooo much different than my stay-at-home mommy life in not-even-the-suburbs-little-town! Your lunch looks delish by the way. 🙂

I really enjoyed this post, Julie. I am a late night person,too! It seems I can focus better in the late evening. Going to bed late means getting up mid-morning and listening to folks comment about my sleeping in. I tell them I’ll give them a call when I go to bed at 3:00. I found it refreshing that you are comfortable about your work habits and schedule. Thank you for being an inspiration and thank you for sharing.

Thanks for this post Julie – I agree with all the others. I am in a major transition period right now and think I will use a similar exercise to invent the next phase. Also I think I will see if I can make a schedule (you notice I didn’t say Keep a Schedule)that fits me regardless of the opinions of others. I am now looking for a photo-tent also. Maybe you could do a short post on the one (s) you use (d). thanks again

Loved the peek at your schedule and I kind of think I saw it when you posted a few years back. Have the photo tent… need to use it more. Thanks for sharing!

Great post, Julie. I can imagine that working for yourself, while it has it’s advantages, it also requires a lot of discipline and scheduling for what works for you. It’s not an easy life in that you are responsible for doing everything. And not everyone has the ability to maintain their own schedule. You seem to have mastered it. More power to you and thank you for sharing so much with so many people.

What do 48 hours of my life look like? Haha—You don’t really want to know unless you’re suffering a spell of insomnia. Trust me.

I finally found someone who keeps the same hours I do. I go to bed between 2 & 3 AM, but have been trying to wake up between 8 & 8:30 AM. I always toddle to studio in jammies and work until noon or so and then go down for something to eat and take the dogs out. I don’t like eating at normal times and am tired of explaining my hours to others. They try the guilt trip, but it doesn’t work. I am retired now and spent 35 years forcing myself to arise early to get to work. I do no AM appts. period ever. I am always busy and days fly by and before I know it Husband is home from work and I have to think about cooking for him. He never complains about my life style…so different from his.
