Patience [Rabindranath Tagore]
If thou speakest not I will fill my heart with thy silence and endure it. I will keep still and wait like the night with starry vigil and its head bent low with patience. The morning will surely come, the darkness will vanish, and thy voice pour down in golden streams breaking through the sky. Then thy words will take wing in songs from every one of my birds’ nests, and thy melodies will...
The Life of an Artist...

About 15% is creating work. The other 75% is editing created work, crafting statements, applying for grants/residences/shows/publications. Then there is that 10% spent agonizing over all these processes. Let’s not talk about how many hours I have spent in the last month crafting six paragraphs.
I am an artist. Feels good to say that.

Illusion

What an utter disgrace it would be to find something truly magic and spend any time at all pretending and trying to convince yourself it’s all just an unbelievably orchestrated and beautifully choreographed illusion. -Tyler Knott Gregson-

1. Anyone on Google+? As you know my self-imposed fast from a popular social network is still going strong and loving it. Coworkers suggested that I should amp up other networks just to stay in the internet relevant loop. So I caved! I cannot promise I will be actively engaging on it but for what it is worth I am in a circle.
2. Along with my primary project that I have taken great lengths to...

Reply to emails, voicemails, and texts at a set times. – This directly ties into the ideas of single-tasking and distraction-avoidance. Set specific time slots 2-3 times a day to deal with incoming communication (e.g. once at 8AM, once at 11AM, once at 3PM), and set a reasonable max duration for each time slot. Unless an emergency arises, be militant about sticking to this practice.

McGee says this format prioritizes seasons over episodes — which makes individual episodes far less enjoyable — and that it...
