word-of-mouth is my favorite means of hearing about products, artists, etc. my friend EML of The Great Mother mentioned a new system re[frame]: a productivity system for creative people. at first glance, i thought this was one of those organizing systems in which multi-color pens and a three-ring binder would be involved, which is interesting, but overwhelming without personal direction & follow-through. upon further reading and looking at the co-creator's websites, this looks really compelling. lists, which i love, plus the use of modern technology along with the lure of productivity which in my mind = more time to create. this time of the year makes me want to buy school clothes, gather notebooks, get new pens, and learn. i loved school and still function on the academic calendar. 10 years of college + graduate studies will do that to you. i'm bitten by the back-to-school, teach-me bug. re[frame] seems to offer a chance to learn more productive ways of managing time and process with guided direction while maintaining creative balance. my excitement toward this is growing as i write about it now.
my current process for september: cleaning out. cleaning out negative thoughts, old patterns, unused crafting supplies, unneeded toys, and STUFF that hasn't been touched since it was moved in except to dust. why, i think i've just sold myself this program by sharing the word. it's amazing what thoughts come as you sweep your sidewalk. will let you know what comes...
i, too, use an academic calendar. yen to my yang, girl... :)
