Like most everyone, these days, I find there is much to do and not enough hours in the day. My ‘todo’ list is endless and growing.  It’s overwhelming and sometimes I feel like I’m drowning.  Even though my work is creative and inspiring, there are still deadlines 😉

This is not a productive creative space to be in.

So when I read about PROJECTLIFE365 I decided to join.

PROJECTLIFE365 gives me a creative outlet that I committed to for 365 days.  I’m committing 10 minutes of everyday to being creative, it makes me stop and think about a daily inspiration, based on the guideline posted on PROJECTLIFE365.  This forces me to be creative and clears my thoughts so I can finish the ‘real’ work at hand.

I started an album on my Facebook page and I started using instagram as well to post and share my daily inspiration photos.  You can request to follow me, my user name is dinigroner.

There are no rules to the project but I put some guidelines for myself.

• It must be a iphone photo

I didn’t want to take out my camera and download and edit which would demand to much of my time, besides, I’m using those tools for my everyday work, I wanted a different tool to explore with and to make it simple and doable.

• Use a photos taken that day.

I wanted to avoid going into my archives, that can be a time drainer and it misses the point of this exercise.  I wanted to be sure I would take the daily inspiration and see how it applies to the day.  For Shabbos or Yom Tov I would use a photo taken the day before or after.

• Not to be over critical

I didn’t want to add pressure to my life, I am looking for something fun.  So if it’s a little blurry, it’s ok.

• If I miss a day, it’s ok, but just make it up as soon as I can 🙂
