I have a huge problem balancing my creativity with my daily responsibilities. I become so entirely consumed and immersed in every creative project put upon me that I often forget that it’s trash day. Bills pile up until the very last second that I can send them out. My responsibilities always get done, but I loath the giant load I’ve put upon myself by not spreading them out evenly throughout the month.

The thought of doing my weekly yard or auto maintenance is repulsive until I actually force myself to do it. Once I start, then I’m fine, and apply my creative side to the task at hand. But starting is the problem, seen only as chores which take me away from my photography.

How can I find a more even approach to balancing the daily duties of life with the creative lust constantly burning in my heart?
