Balancing My Artistic Life With Other Monetary Aspects of My Life [MINER-WEWRITE CONTEST].
Hello FreeWriters, 🤗
The prompt for today "HOW TO BALANCE" seems to be the best for me to write with at the moment. I am at a point in my life where being an Artist isn't about Art being and hobby neither is it about just doing Art because I love to do it.
More than any and every profession in the world, I love Art but now I've got lots of bills to pay and Art isn't like bottle of water that sells everyday, and at the same time, art can be very jealous, if to try to do it along side sometime else, it often tells in your artistic growth, some get to multi-task with other professions and earn themselves fine income but......
Do we all find multi-tasking easy?
Personally, I find multi-tasking overwhelming and often don't get to give my best while multi-tasking. Now finding something to do outside art that could secure my daily expense and won't affect my artistic practices nor growth had been something I've been finding so difficult to balance up, I just get to get a side hustle that could easily coined out of Art and used to generate daily income......

I agree multitasking is overwhelming and it takes away the 100% focus. Recent studies prove it is a bad thing and you are not saving time (unless to can switch on a washing machine and cook at the same time).
What we do deserves our full attention and I find it very hard to do it in between it eats me. ☹️ I rather skip cooking and eating tmto have more time. Working at night gives me more peace of mind because there are fewer disturbances. The only minus is the cold and lack of light.

Same here...: if I want to do something properly, then I have to concentrate on it, without distraction and without secondary occupation.
It's funny how some of my friends and acquaintances see it as a weakness and some as strength but I know and believe that that's my nature and I choose to stick with it.
How do you manage that or don't you get people close to you talk/complain about you not being able to multi-task?

Isn't it promoted for longer to be a good thing? I mainly see stressed people multitasking where the question arises if setting priorities isn't more important and scheduling time.

It's like this: if I let myself be tempted to, say, cook and have a philosophical discussion at the same time, it ends in disaster. More precisely, in hopelessly burnt food. Since most of my friends come to us because of the excellent food, nobody dares to complain ;-))
No, seriously. Nothing clever comes out when I try my hand at divided attention.
