My brain can go a mile a minute when it is working through a problem or figuring out how to do things. I can be very clever when call upon to be so. However my brain is not a great self starter. It tends to want to work in last ditch almost panic mode. If I have time, my brain is a good one at putting things off until it needs to be done. <\/p>\n
Strangely enough that only happens when it is a project for me. If it is anything else for anyone else, my brain goes into overdrive to sort out the problem or do the job that need to be done. It makes me an excellent employee that tends to get about twice a much done in half the time. I have amazed and astounded many of my employers with how fast I pick up a job and figure out the most efficient way to get the job done.<\/p>\n
But when it comes for things for me, it tends to slow down to a crawl until we hit the make it or forget it point. It is not that I don\u2019t have a ton of ideas floating around the brainpan. I am never short on ideas. But moving those ideas in the real world can be a challenge for me. And then there are all the things I haven\u2019t finished yet. I have three dolls in need of clothing. I have about 6 items I want to get up on Esty but I need to set up the photographs, which I know how to do thanks to Richard Termine and the crash course he gave me in museum photography at the Center for Puppetry Arts.<\/p>\n
There are costumes I want to make. Stories I want to write. That professional shot that I have to get done this week. But there is also things like Caroline\u2019s Birthday in less than a month and Thanksgiving and the rest of the holidays. Taking care of hearth and home is important to me and my family. <\/p>\n
I get overwhelmed with all the things that I need to do, should do, and could do. And at that point my brain just freezes on me. It doesn\u2019t want to go forward nor does it want to go back. It just wants to stop for a bit and rest and reset. <\/p>\n
So today I am giving my brain a day off. I will do repetitive redundant things. Or maybe I\u2019ll just read today. Or whatever I want to do. Just to give my brain some time to unfreeze and reset.<\/p>\n
I am very grateful for my creative brain even when it is driving me crazy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
