This comment has now been open on a tab for four days - sigh - I, too, need to find a way to make things balance better again. I am way too occupied with work - and I don't like it!
Being that occupied with it, not the work - that I like :)
In painting I've actually done it, this paint/draw/whatever for 10 minutes a day. And that was actually fun to do. But these days I do prefer the longer sessions as you say.
I don't know - it's a work in progress...
HAAAAAAAAAAA!
I have a painting I want to do and should have started over an hour ago and haven't cuz.... time...
so I get it. I really do.
Go paint!
NOW!
