Week 2 of working part time and it feels fucking weird. I keep thinking that I need to justify my days out of the office by ensuring that I am making some kind of meaningful use of my time - usually spent in front of the computer working on exhibition organisation, printing invites etc. If I don't do that, I feel as if I'm slacking off.
I can't even wake up in the morning and have a leisurely coffee and breakfast without thinking that I need to hop on the computer and behave productively!
I think this is definitely something that will take a lot of time getting used to.
Some ideas for constructive and productive ways of spending my non-office time:
1. Join stock photo service and submit stock photos.
2. Volunteer - but what? What?
3. Sign up for Artsource and attend workshops on how to make a living as an artist.
I know that I don't want to whittle away this precious time I have... but I can't help but feel that I ought to at least spend some time doing nothing productive or constructive... like watching a DVD, or having a nap... but I can't do so without feeling guilty! I feel as if I'm opting out of being a productive member of society. Even a visit to the local shops to get groceries fills me with guilt as, everywhere around me, people are working... and I feel as if I'm copping out!
