There is a way for you to schedule your time if you need to. I call it soundtrack studio. I always start my work around five o’clock in the morning and rest around noon and four. I am trying to have more of a schedule, so I planned out my whole month on my calendar for On Thyme.

My soundtrack studio goes like this:

Beth’s Soundtrack Studio

• Monday- Show and Tell Musica and Rootsong Music Therapy, Heartsong Writing Therapy, Rootsong Art Therapy and Musicata Music Theory with Core Musica Team in the Listening Room and then Flow Time with Community Roots Team or Justice Roots Team
• Tuesday- Alternate Musica Team and Five Roots Team with Rootsong Music Therapy, Heartsong Writing Therapy, Rootsong Art Therapy, Musicata Music Theory and Life Roots Healing Sessions and then Flow Time with Community Roots Team or Justice Roots Team
• Wednesday- Songwriting Thyme, Musicata Music Theory, The Theory of the Music of Pan, The Theory of the Music of Kali and Rootsong Music Therapy with Core Musica Team and Alternate Musica Team and then Flow Time with Community Roots Team and Justice Roots Team

• Friday- Playlists and Making Old Music New and Rootsong Music Therapy, Heartsong Writing Therapy, Rootsong Art Therapy and Musicata Music Theory with Core Musica Team and Alternate Musica Team and then Flow Time with Community Roots Team and Justice Roots Team
• Saturday- Flow Day and Home Day
• Sunday- Morning Meeting, Writing Time and Culture Story with Tribe

I am quite busy these days. And I have to be flexible, which is okay, but I am trying to be less so and more rhythmic. Rest has to be a part of my soundtrack. So does sitting outside and feeding the birds and making tea and drinking it.

I have three roots to my work. I have my Community Roots Team, which is the entire tribe of Wrens, Elks, Owlets and Does. I have my Five Roots Team, which is my acoustic roots musicans and my dancers and my healers and my coaches and my teachers. I have my Justice Roots Team which is my attorneys who are the justice stewards for the world. I have four assistants for these teams. I do not deal with email from the tribe. I work with in web only.

You can make a chart with specific times if you want to. Do it the way that makes the most sense. But be open to change because flow is sacred thyme and old ideas about work and time no longer serve any of us. We have the right and the opportunity to make our own schedules now, all of us. Make it to cultivate joy.
