As a project manager in "real" life, I work by plan.  By a structure.  By dates, deadlines, readiness, resources and surprise findings.
​
It is a required necessity during my technical days to find ways to be efficient, to do things in parallel. To write an email, listen actively to a conference call, IM with some team members while texting with others; all while thinking of the next meeting or next item on the to-do list. It's required because some "to-do" must be "to-done" in order; and when they can't (not *if*, but *when*) I must be able to flex focus to something else so people aren't sitting idle, and the customer isn't confused about progress. 

I had an epiphany of sorts when it comes to my "art" life.  There are processes which have to be done in an order - i.e, obtain the domain name, THEN learn how to use the tool to design, THEN upload product information, THEN set up payment connections.  None of these can be done in parallel with writing a blog (such as this), or painting a picture.  It's a beautiful experience to decide what to do next, and know that it can be changed quickly as I control this little space of the world. 

I'm new at this, and there are so many things I want to share.  Glitches and misspellings will be found (I hate typos!), links to the site may not work smoothly at first.  Social media postings may be sporadic.  

With all that, I hope you'll join me on my journey.  I'd love to have your company.  XO
