Work Flow
What is your work flow? How do you handle the myriad of tasks required to regularly update and post on numerous social media platforms? These were questions I was asked in the final Professional On-line Presence group meeting offered through SAQA. I love being put on the spot, much as it makes me squirm. Why? Because I find it forces me to sort through competing thoughts and express them concretely and coherently. My answer is, “My life is extremely compartmentalized, with an emphasis on the extreme.” I went on to explain how each day of the week had a different focus. For example, if it is Friday morning, as it is now, my first priority is to write my weekly post.

This small art quilt is wrapped around a stretched canvas frame. It is my husband’s my first attempt at collaborating in this format.
Will my compartmentalized way of being work for others? Not necessarily. However, I got a chuckle from a friend and one of my blog followers who was attending the same meeting. She couldn’t see herself adhering rigidly to a firm schedule. Then as an afterthought she said, “but you post weekly and I haven’t managed that.” She does put herself into her art, both fiber and photography, as well as being a dedicated volunteer.

Work Flow Interrupted
Do I always adhere to my compartmentalized plan? Of course not. I am human. Life happens. I am fortunate to have family. I have volunteer obligations that frequently must be attended at a specific time that plays havoc with my schedule. Still, I did manage to chip away at obligations to myself, as you can see by the photographs. Two 8″ x 8″ pieces are finished. Thanks to my husband these are wrapped around pre stretched canvas. These artworks will be part of my Cohasset Open Studios offerings in November. I also whipped up a 10″ x 7″ piece for SAQA’s Trunk Show. What will next week bring? We shall see.
