My whole life, I’ve worked in structured environments.
If anything, the first school I went to, The School KFI, from kindergarten to 7th grade was the most unstructured. We had an amazing campus and often classes were held under the trees - including the banyan tree in this pos ... Continue reading »

Well, sorta...I don't quite live like that any more, but I've definitely been there. Shri, there's nothing I can tell you that you don't already know...it all comes down to doing what you want to do when your time is yours. If you want to do chores, surf the web and classes cause that makes you happy, then that's what you'll do. But if getting a film out the door THIS WEEKEND is what'll make you happy so you can have it up on your MySpace Filmmaker profile by Monday and in several short film competitions by Tuesday, then that's what you'll do and nothing will stop you. The problem with acting is I had to wait for my phone to ring for auditions...I of course did everything I could to make that phone ring with the rest of the time. As a filmmaker, you have *control*...you can literally take out your camera, shoot something this afternoon, cut it this evening, and have it out for feedback tonight! Maybe go find some kids playing under a banyan tree....
Actually, that leads me to another idea. Maybe instead of text blog, you commit to keeping a videoblog? That way you're creating film on a regular basis....

To make sure I stay productive, I created 2 lists of things to do. A list for chores, and a list for the creative projects. But don't put deadlines on them. I work off either list depending on my mood and try to balance them over the week. Browsing the web, or just taking a walk can be a creative time if you are in the right mind set. You need to set aside a fix time to be creative, and you can also mix the creative time with other tasks.
Alway carry a notepad with you. You never know when a spark of an idea is going to hit.
Let me know what end up working for you. I would love try a new and different way to find balance in my life.
