As a working artist, I have many ideas. I am pulled in many directions.
There is so much information, so many events, so little time...
How does everyone do it?!
I strive to make things as clear, efficient, transparent as I can for myself, my artists, friends and our community. I understand sometimes, it can still be too much.
I make lists. To do lists. Schedule lists. Idea lists. Art supply lists. Art event lists. Workshop lists. Future lists. Past lists...
Then I forgot to look at them.
But I continue to do it. They say writing can rewire the brain.
I am a writer in the sense, I would rather write than type. (Even though I can get my thoughts out faster when I type)
The act of moving a pen, pencil, some type of instrument across a paper can enhance memory and recall, boost critical thinking and self-reflection skills and help manage emotions and increase self-awareness.

My list below started from writing down my ideas...
I have post-its with notes, pads of paper with scribbles, ideas written on empty envelopes.
