Rolling Dimes
30th of August ~
A friend and I talked years ago as we were preparing for another rigorous school session. We had multiple papers to turn in and lots of reading to complete. I asked her how she was doing and she said that she was sorting her coins and putting them in rolls for the bank.
I was doing equally vital work–cleaning out my junk drawer. Anything to avoid the dread schoolwork.
Since then I have referred to such avoidance tactics as ‘rolling dimes’.
Although I could be finishing preparations for my client work this week in Chicago, I am instead wandering the internet…hopping from one link to the next.
Here’s my favorite site this evening: http://creativeeveryday.com/
And, as I am a coach for the creative process, I’m going to call this INCUBATION.
