I'm Very Not Good at Doing Less

↓
​

A few months (year?) ago I had this idea of talking about how to do less (things) and get more (things/stuff done).

Well I've had to accept that I'm NOT VERY GOOD AT DOING LESS.

I keep thinking I can do all the things... that I wanna do.

This past Sunday at the Grant Park Farmers market I setup and worked two tents - one for my kombvcha company, and one for my son's dance company (Rise City Dance) - their holiday dance show is in two weeks and we need MARKETING (and ticket sales). So I organized for them to have a tent at the farmers market.

IT MADE SENSE to do it - and as with all things parent run - it won't happen unless someone owns it. So I owned it.

PLUS that same day was my son's 13th birthday. Lots of rearranging time and space and organizing celebrations.

But I always think I can do it - all. Mostly. Or rather - I decide what needs to fall back, or fall off so that I CAN DO WHAT I WANNA DO.

But it wasn't until I was there setting up both tents on Sunday, that I realized... yeah I'm pretty awful at doing less. AWFUL.

While at the same time - I very much dislike busy-ness. At least the type where you're obligated to doing things you don't want to do.

I'm doing A LOT. But it's all things I want to do. Or at least I understand WHY I'm doing them, and I'm happy about that WHY.

So I suppose I'm writing here to let you know that I'm DOING ALL THE THINGS. With joy and happiness and bonkers energy.

In short - I'm still a very excellent photographer of people.

I still make the most magical kombvcha in all of Atlanta.

And if you think I can help you out in any way - I'll meet up with you soon.

Mark Tioxon I'm a dad, photographer, and kombvcha maker person. In that order.
