My wife has been fixing up our shared office space at home. Here’s what she did to my workspace. Nice, no?

Discipline in Creativity
Just a short post before I start my workday .
Spotted this in my high school classmate’s* Facebook page, a list of rules written by Sister Corita Kent, who was a nun, artist and educator. She was chairman of the Immaculate Heart College art department, where she drafted this document.
Sister Corita's Rules
I love how these rules set the stage for controlled creativity, work and discipline being emphasized. Sometimes, those of us in a creative enterprise or effort (including putting together a magazine) tend to insist that art be inspired by the whims of our muses. We don’t write when we need to. We don’t illustrate until the last minute. We lay pages out only when we feel like it (or it’s the day before the files need to be sent to the printer).
I also love how she quotes John Cage: his wiki is here.
Do go over Sister Corita’s rules and take from them your dose of wisdom for the day. Rule 8 is my favorite, at the moment, at least. What’s your favorite rule?
