Wednesday began with an unexpected rush. I aimed to pop out quickly, pick up a cutting mat, and get on with organising the studio. It turns out, though, that neatly storing papers takes far longer than expected. By mid-morning, I’d got stuck in, carrying out the surprisingly therapeutic task of tucking away various pen plots and print materials into my newly-arranged plan chests.
As the day wore on, I found myself still knee-deep in paper. The challenge lay in balancing the practical with the need for some level of creativity – I couldn't just throw things in together headlong. Getting it 'just right' and categorised became an oddly complex task. It also reminded me how keeping stuff organised even affects my creative thinking.
The overwhelming task of organising reminded me of how crucial it is to have systems in place—a theme I’ve been pondering lately. Before the clock struck a weary end of the working day, it was clear to me that this logistical manoeuvre was more than just shuffling papers; it felt like setting a foundation for more creative freedom.
I took a short break, stepping out for some fresh air to recharge before diving back into it. The studio feels closer to readiness. I guess taking small chunks at a time is the key to chipping away effectively. While there's still a way to go, the thought of a tidy creative space does bring some excitement.
To wrap up the day, moving forward with silica gel to keep paper dry seemed a practical solution. Though simple, it was a step towards preserving my materials and taking care of an often overlooked issue. I believe these small switches could make a significant difference.
There's always more to do than time allows, but I feel reassured that, with organisation and a clear mind, the creativity finds its way through. Ending with a subtle sense of accomplishment, I know that continuing down this path can only lead to more fruitful creative ventures.
