I’ve learned which times of year are best for me to do different kinds of tasks. And I recognise that those periods when it feels like I’m not doing anything are part of the process. I’ll be filling my well and getting my systems in order. Instead of beating myself up, I now honour the seasons of my productivity 🙂

But nothing beats a great day in the studio, and getting back in there is the best way I’ve found to remind myself of that.

This is so great to hear, Kim. I cannot imagine you being unproductive ever. But it happens to the best of us. Glad you have the tools to reassess.]]> In reply to Kim Harrell.

Ha ha ha, sad but true!

I had a moment recently in the studio where it felt like nothing was being accomplished as we touched so many things from website updates, curating a new exhibition and making work! However, at the end of the day my assistant and I realized we had had a VERY productive day. Reflection and recalibration is constant but having a plan for productivity with stated goals and measurable outcomes is essential. I am grateful for the tools I have learned and re-learned in Alyson’s courses and books and I have reaped the benefits of doing the work in and out of the studio!
