This may sound crazy but it is very difficult for me to feel inspired if I have housework or other duties to do. I feel to guilty spending that euphoric inspiration time if I have a stack of dishes in the sink.
My sink has become this symbol of freedom for me. If you think this crazy lady is kidding you, I am not. Just take a stroll through my Flickr or my Instagram feed and you will come across images like the one above. My sink.
I have a routine. I wake up, make my bed, clean the bathrooms, consolidate all the garbage cans into the main one, vacuum, start a load of laundry, do a 15 min zone clean, unload the dishes and load the breakfast ones and go to the post office. Then I shine my sink after everything is done. It is a significant part of my day. It means I am free!
I can take the rest of my day and spend it how I wish. Normally that means exercise, shower and get dressed. After that I go for a photowalk, photodrive, any kind of photoshoot I can come up with. Sometimes it is so cold outside I just take a picture of my sink.
What do you do to help those inspiration gates to open up?
