First stand on one leg and imagine you have three bags; one for art, one for life, one for work, hanging from both your arms and one leg. Sort through these bags, which one is the most important to you? Is there one that is too heavy and causing an imbalance? Which are you prepared to make the most effort to carry?

Think about which one you don’t mind being heavier and adjust the contents of your bags accordingly, remove any unnecessary items that might prevent you from getting the right balance. To bear the weight of one you might need to make the other two lighter.

This can be performed for any length of time and repeated until you feel you have a healthy art work life balance.
