routines are a good thing...

So, we made through the first week of school and everyone is doing well, but tired. The need to get up early is a little challenging right now, but we're making it to the bus on time. The routine of school has made me realize that I have been neglecting a routine for myself. I was in the habit of waking at 5am to get my work started while everyone else was sleeping, and this summer I skipped that more and more as the days came and went. I did get work done, but I know I can get so much more accomplished with even one extra hour each day. I also know I can get a lot done when I have a plan, so here goes - this week / month I will:

• Wake up (and actually get out of bed) at 5am and work on fabric pieces
• Prepare my fabrics for projects by washing the fabric, dyeing or printing on it, putting it into an embroidery hoop, picking some thread colors...
• Plan to finish at least one piece per day
• Write better description for my art that is posted on Etsy 
• Prepare all art work images and text for new website
• Prepare new online fiber workshop for FAMM, similar to this one
• Re-establish by health routine: running, weights, and meal planning
• Continue posting images on Facebook with descriptions, not just sharing without comment
• Clear the clutter - this proves to be so difficult for me... sad to say I haven't made progress with that this week
• Go to more gallery openings - in fact, tonight I am going to two: Live Coal Gallery and the Grosse Pointe Art Center member show in which I will show this piece:

Vintage Burst, 20" x 20", cotton and acrylic

Maybe I need an accountability partner or group... How does everyone else stay motivated and consistent?
