Making time

How to find time every day for photography, in seven easy steps:

1. Open Calendar app.
2. Create 1-hour meeting: “Take pictures”.
3. Set up reminder for 15 minutes before meeting.
4. Set event to repeat each workday for entire month.
5. Don’t schedule anything else for those times.
   (if I must schedule something for that time, immediately reschedule “Take pictures” meeting)
6. When reminder sounds, stop whatever I’m doing & find camera.
7. Head out with camera & take pictures for an hour.

As far as I can tell, all those pseudo-aphorisms about inspiration and art boil down to the same thing: Make the time. So that’s what I do. I make the time.
