Thanks for leaving your thoughts on painting routine for me. I too have become addicted to the computer. I check it morning and night and sometimes in between. I have some legitimate things to do on it - this blog is one, I hope. I'm also doing some accounting and some communicating with others, business letters, friendly letters etc. I know I will get back to painting soon, but the disorder of my house from just having moved is monumental and I have to get that in some order before I can begin painting again. Good luck with your painting. Your method sounds good. I may try it. K I’m rather thrilled to have a long comment. Thanks for leaving your thoughts on painting routine for me.

Right now I have to coax myself away from the computer. Once I start painting I forget about most things. What is in front of me takes all my attention. A break occurs when something doesnt work out. I once again get into the "now" and have to start all over again to get me back to paint. A recent ploy was to make sure that I sat in my "studio" and I found that helped. I would do other activities during the day but in that room and by the time the day was done i'd painted something. A week of painting everyday I got cocky and now i'm back at my computer. hmmm. Somebody asked me why I was forcing myself to paint. I tried explaining that I love to paint. It's jsut that I find it hard to get away from the computer :D Sorry to have left such a loooong comment. I'm inspired by your post to work on my routines and rituals some more. thank you :D I’m still trying to get some routines organised so that I paint regularly.
