I’ve been trying a new schedule out for the past couple of weeks. I get up at 5:30 or 6am and head over to my studio for an hour or two before going to work at the ol’ chocolate factory (pssst, we’re not really making chocolate).

I enjoy mornings, even really early ones. Once I am out of bed, that is. Some days I don’t make it in, but I’m trying not to be too judgmental with myself about it. Progress, even in small increments, is progress all the same. In the past, if I felt I didn’t have more than an hour of time to spend, I’d skip going all together. But I’ve found that even if I don’t have time to settle into a flow, even if I only have 30 minutes that day, the summation of the week’s progress is still rewarding.
