Rebecca and I had an interesting talk about the 365 today. I heard from so many people that they would like to do one too but don't have the time. I couldn't really relate to that, I always thought my life is fairly busy and if something is really important to me, I usually find a way to make time for it.
I tried to do the math with my own project and it totaled up to 5 mins for shooting and 15 mins for writing my journal per day. On top of that I estimated around 15 minutes for typing (I write my journal with pen and paper), uploading the picture and publishing the post. And another 10 minutes for post-processing if you shoot a digital camera. As an average, you'd end up with around 45 minutes per day, which is what I invest. I just read a study that most people spend well over 1,5 hours per day on social media. I think cutting that in half would be a good idea.
Kind of connected to that I think that some sort of pain always goes hand in hand with the creative process, and embracing that and getting out of your comfort zone is important. It makes you challenge and rethink a lot of set perspectives.
