So, without even reading further into the book, I dove in and started a major purging and packing in the art studio. I have a box full of artwork that is going in the fire and it feels great. I mean, do I really need that horrible self portrait, or still life artwork that looks more dead than alive? I can actually see the floor of my closet. However, all that stuff is now in the center of the room. I was going to post a photo but I was too embarrassed.
This may take time away from actually producing art, but I expect I will be more productive in the end.
The book is not expensive, and says a lot of things that may seem obvious or we have heard them before. And perhaps I am just ready to hear them now. But the information is written clearly and not long winded or rambling.
I might even post a photo of the studio when it looks presentable.
Organizing to create Space to breathe, rest, and create is always worthwhile. One of my favorite oragnizing tools is 'Organizing From the Inside Out," by Julie Morgenstern. She gives a sensible and realistic ways to avoid organizing pitfalls.
