How to find time for painting?
All of us are so busy, so how to find time for the real joy?
Reading time 3 minutes
Many of our students and subscribers work during the day. And their work often is not related to art. After work, you will find a lot of household chores and, of course, a family that you want to pay attention to. As a result, precious time is all taken up… It seems that there is a desire to paint, but when? How to find time for yourself and do what you love, not for anybody, but for yourself?
Is there a way out of this situation? We think so. See if something from the list below will suit you and find a solution that will work in your case.
1. The 5-minute rule
Anyone can find at least 5 minutes a day. In fact, if you look closely at what you spend time on and how much, you will be surprised. Especially a lot of time is consumed by social networks, often this time is generally measured in hours, but people do not notice it. Instead, take this time and paint. Maybe when you start painting, you will want to do it longer than 5 minutes. Do not deny yourself from getting the pleasure.
2. Paint everywhere
Have you tried painting on the bus or subway? While waiting for a baby from nursery or a car from the car wash? Or are you waiting for your turn in some institution? Did you come to work early? Instead of talking to colleagues or just wasting time waiting, paint..
3. Paint together
You can paint with your children. You can attract your husband or other relatives and turn painting into a game, into a family entertainment. So you will spend time together, and paint.
4. Plan in pictures
Do you make to-do lists for the day/ month/ year? Paint them in illustrations: paint goals and desires, you can even paint the results in the form of a picture after completing the tasks.
5. Discipline
Make a schedule and think about when you can paint. Perhaps you get up earlier than everyone else in the house? Or come to work early? Or do you wait for your soulmate from work every night? What if you have a couple of free hours a week when no one is at home or your loved ones are busy watching your favorite TV series? Mark this time in the calendar as the time for painting. Set reminders so you don't forget.
