Summary
We all struggle with time. Some of us have young children, or elderly parents or a full-time job, and even those who work full time as artists also have the pressures of marketing, gallery relations, art fairs etc. We discuss the challenges we face in terms of managing time on a day-to-day basis, and also consider the larger question of how much time we have left in our lives. If we knew we only had one year to live, what kind of work would we make?
We also answer a question from Tracey who asks about when to move from playing to producing a series or a body of work (and coins the memorable hashtag "#fearofmakinganactualpainting!”)

| 0:00.0 | And Alice is shuddering, you can't see it because this is a podcast which is shuddering. |
| 0:04.8 | Hi, welcome to episode 7 of Art Juice, behind the scenes conversations about making |
| 0:16.8 | art and the creative life with me, Louise Fletcher and me Alice Sheridan. |
| 0:30.0 | This week we're going to be talking about a big question is how much time do I have both in a day and in our lives for making art and we're going to answer a reader |
| 0:36.8 | question about play and how do you know when it's time to get started working. |
| 0:41.3 | We'll also have our regular inside outside feature about |
| 0:46.0 | what's inspired us, but first we're going to talk about what we're working on this |
| 0:50.4 | week. So Alice over to you you what have you been working on? Well I've I was |
| 0:55.9 | away for a week last week and so I would find it a little bit tricky to come back |
| 1:00.9 | into work when I've been away. |
| 1:02.8 | So the first two days, the first Monday I came back |
| 1:07.6 | full of good intentions and then I was alerted |
| 1:10.6 | that my website had collapsed. |
| 1:12.7 | So that kind of put the Kai Bosch on Monday morning. |
| 1:16.2 | A little bit of digging, |
| 1:20.4 | but I think the interesting thing about that for me was that would have been something |
| 1:24.4 | that would have thrown me into total panic, like complete and utter panic, that kind of technical |
| 1:32.3 | managing side of being an artist. |
| 1:36.0 | It would have freaked me out completely. |
| 1:38.0 | And what I was interested to notice was that my reaction this time was, |
| 1:42.0 | oh, that's a bit annoying. I'm sure it will be |
