Hi Julie! I love that you are on Substack now :) Now that my friend Laurie is no longer in Tomales, I don't have an excuse to visit, so this gives a great look into daily work and life in your beautiful world. Yes, I am on a 4-ish day work week, too - ironically, I spend that day at the pottery studio, ha! It took me awhile to be okay with making my schedule more intentional - I would find myself sticking to timelines and dayparts that I thought I needed to, but now I realize I don't. Like you, if I can meet me goals (annual, monthly, weekly, daily) then I should not feel guilty for using the remaining time in ways that bring me joy (gardening, baking, painting, pottery, kids' homework, reading, prayer, etc.). Time is the ultimate commodity and that informs most of our days... Can't wait to hear more from you in this space. Congratulations!
Thank you Emily, nice to hear from you and thanks for sharing! Time is everything and nothing at all. I have to constantly remind myself that I'm in charge of my own schedule, what I do with and what I don't. It often feels like I'm making it up as I go, but sometimes that's the only way.
