Re: time management

[Tricia Rasku]

What a good question!  Lets see, how do I try to do it?  I wind my warp 
on the warping mill, go make dinner, exercise, work at a volunteer job.  
Next day, beam my warp, walk the dog, talk to my husband, make dinner, 
go to the library for more inspiration.  Next day, walk the dog, plan 
dinner, arrange to have lunch with a friend, have the spinning group in, 
make dinner, go to exercise class.  OK, missed a day, so do much of the 
same, thread the loom for awhile, have a nap, make dinner, relax.  So it 
goes. 
I may write a list in the morning of all to do this day, but find I do 
stuff not on the list so my husband has suggested I add the things I do 
manage to do and cross those off.

Dyeing usually involves several hours, but they will often be like 
making bread and not need constant supervision. Spinning can be done in 
little bits of time if the wheel is nearby. Weaving seems to be the most 
labour intensive and I have had warps on a loom for a year, then 
something comes up that requires that loom so it is woven off in jig 
time. I do most of my creative ideas in colour in the warp with mainly 
plain weave or twill, but have been exploring 3shaft weaves which are 
textural.  I think I prefer small numbers for counting.

I don't crochet and only knit a bit.  I wish I did more but once I get 
into shaping, I run into trouble. I can spin while watching TV.  The 
trouble here is that I would rather read than watch TV.

But the spining/weaving/dyeing time is very challenging! Often I find myself
putting off those parts just because I'm so daunted by the time it takes to do
anything useful.
