Carving out time to have fun isn’t hard…when you have the right supports in place.

First! I’ve started to sell designs on Spoonflower! So if you’re looking for fun fabric, wallpaper, or house items, have a look — more designs coming soon!

Alright…onto making time for fun projects no matter how busy you are!

If you’ve been around here for a while, you know my list of projects is endless. In addition to my writing goals, art goals, and general business upkeep (like taxes), I have a second business, am in the middle of home renovations, and have eight creatures living in my house, each of whom has their own individual needs and activities.

Well, nine if you add in my human love.

In other words, just like your life, mine is full up.

And I want more. Or less. Or maybe just different. I want to have time for my own for-fun, private activities.

Not only are these for-me activities fun, they’re vital for my wellbeing. But making space for them is a constant challenge. The pressure of the Expected To Dos is heavy and hard to squeak out from under.

If you’re struggling, too, I thought I’d share six strategies I’ve found helpful in carving out space for my personal creative projects.
