I guess it just goes to show you that we ALL wish that we spent more time in the studio.

Happy creating…

I usually spend 15-30 minutes updating social media, checking email and reading a few blog posts. Then I know everything it taken care of and I can get to the studio. The reward of the studio is enough for me to keep the computer time short. Knowing on weekdays I have to head to work in a few hours is also a big incentive not to waste my time.

Anyway, it got me thinking because as I was breaking down certain tasks into percentages to total 100%, a tangent thought similar to your post crossed my mind. I asked myself what exactly is my business - I certainly spend a lot of time on the computer and less in the studio. Am I a writer/blogger/web designer/photo editor/marketing expert etc. because I find less time and enthusiasm for hitting the studio than I have in the past. But, flip side, if I'm in the studio at the neglect of my business/marketing activities then it's lop sided as well. There has to be some kind of balance that's better than what I currently have in place. This morning I took an Adobe CS survey – don’t ask me why…task avoidance maybe.
