      <image:title>The Creative Sense: A Blog - Monotasking, Multitasking, and Finding Your Sweet Spot - It definitely feels good to be "in the zone," but we also have to live on planet Earth, with real time constraints, financial responsibilities, and commitments that limit us.</image:title>
      <image:caption>And that's actually okay - even beneficial! Remember last week's margin metaphor? We wouldn't want constant, open-ended flow without planning and structure coming back into the equation at some point.  Think about your own natural rhythms. Are you a natural monotasker, at risk of getting stuck on one task and forgetting about real life? Or are you a natural multitasker, at risk of being scattered in too many directions? In my family, we're split down the middle, and I think we help each other tremendously with this balance. My husband can call me out if he sees me going down a deep rabbit hole, and I can rein him in when his ideas start going in too many directions and overwhelm me. Our kids are split down the middle as well! It's fascinating to see how they navigate the world through their own unique lenses, and we've learned to parent them differently for that reason.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Creative Sense: A Blog - Monotasking, Multitasking, and Finding Your Sweet Spot - Your accountability system could involve family, friends, colleagues, or even a life coach - anyone who can provide that gentle nudge when you're getting too absorbed. Even just knowing I have that meeting coming up gets me focused in the days leading up to it, and sends me back to my notes to see if I made progress from last week.</image:title>

      <image:title>The Creative Sense: A Blog - Monotasking, Multitasking, and Finding Your Sweet Spot - Within the confines of your current situation, what's one small tweak you can make? For the next few days, try focusing on just observing how you move through your day, without trying to change anything yet. Notice: Are you monotasking, multitasking, or both? Which feels easier? Which creates struggle? And remember - you don't have to change anything that's already working well! Sometimes awareness alone gives you permission to be who you naturally are and relax into it.</image:title>

      <image:title>The Creative Sense: A Blog - Finding Your Rhythm: What the Six Phases of Clay Can Teach Us - I had just left the community ceramics studio, where I had been talking to two clay friends about trying different ceramic techniques to find the ones that fit you. Not just as an artist, but as a whole person. How they work with your lifestyle, personality, and artistic voice. For example, if you love the look of intricate carving, but prefer to work in quick, intuitive movements, you'll just be fighting an uphill battle trying to perfect that skill. Instead maybe you could ditch carving altogether and go for wild glaze combinations that make you happy.</image:title>

      <image:title>The Creative Sense: A Blog - Finding Your Rhythm: What the Six Phases of Clay Can Teach Us - 2. Plastic</image:title>
      <image:caption>Plastic clay is what you think of when you think of clay. It's how it comes out of the bag when you buy it—a balanced amount of moisture, soft enough to work and shape into a new form. Life Parallel: At this phase, in clay and in life, there is enough flexibility to make changes, and enough structure to hold the shape of what we've just done. We are still malleable and in process. This is not a finished product—it's full of possibilities. It is okay to change direction, to be inspired, to ask for help. At the plastic phase, what's most called for is an idea on the direction you'd like to go, then the resources and skills to make it a smoother, easier process.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Creative Sense: A Blog - Finding Your Rhythm: What the Six Phases of Clay Can Teach Us - 3. Leather Hard</image:title>
      <image:caption>At this point, you have made something—let's say a mug. It looks like a mug. The handle has been attached. There is now mostly clay and a little bit of water, allowing it to hold its shape even when you pick it up. You can still slightly adjust the shape, carve in a design if you want. You can even throw it in a bucket of water, rehydrate the whole thing and start over.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Creative Sense: A Blog - Finding Your Rhythm: What the Six Phases of Clay Can Teach Us - 4. Bone Dry</image:title>
      <image:caption>At the bone dry stage, there is almost no moisture. At this stage, you can do some tiny fine-tuning with a little water added back, but use caution: the clay is fragile. Too much pressure or even a bump can cause a crack or break. You’ve created something new, but it hasn’t been tested yet. (Even if it breaks at this stage, it can STILL be rehydrated to start over—although it's much more difficult and requires more time and care.) Life Parallel: This sounds like the times in our lives when there is just too much going on; those phases when you're burned out at work, something comes up at home, a family member needs you, you are stretched too thin—overwhelmed—then someone "knocks over your mug" and it breaks apart. You didn't do anything wrong; it's just the nature of things when they're at this fragile state, with very little margin or tolerance.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Creative Sense: A Blog - Finding Your Rhythm: What the Six Phases of Clay Can Teach Us - 5. Bisqueware</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is the phase after firing in the kiln (around 1800-2000 degrees). Bisqueware is solid, hard, chemically changed by heat. It is now sturdy and secure in shape. There's no amount of pushing or carving to be done anymore, though you can still sand rough edges with the right tools and precautions.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Creative Sense: A Blog - Finding Your Rhythm: What the Six Phases of Clay Can Teach Us - 6. Vitrification (Glazed)</image:title>
      <image:caption>The icing on the cake! When we add glaze to bisqueware and fire again, we get a beautiful surface with colors, textures, and designs personal to us. Now our mug won't absorb water; the glassy components create a non-porous surface for drinking coffee! Glazing involves experimentation and learning. Even with a specific effect in mind, we don't know exactly how it will turn out because chemistry happens in the kiln. The resulting piece often comes out differently than expected, but the surprises can be lovely. Life Parallel: After going through life's challenges, we emerge not just stronger but with unique beauty and character. Our experiences give us a distinctive "glaze" that reflects who we've become. And just like with clay, the outcome might surprise us—often more beautiful than we imagined.</image:caption>
