“I wish I could find more time to craft.(sigh)”<\/p>\n

If I had a dollar for every time I heard that I’d be rolling in cash right now. I get it! Life is super busy, and there is never enough hours in the day, right?<\/p>\n

But what if you could find an extra hour, or even half hour a day to do something your really enjoy, like work on a craft project or learn a new skill. How satisfying would that be?<\/p>\n

My simple suggestion – Get off Instagram!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

I’m not talking about going cold turkey and deleting the app, rather, just being more mindful of your screen-time and setting daily usage limits.<\/p>\n

Apps like Instagram and Facebook are designed to keep you engaged and scrolling for as long as possible. The more time you spend staring at your little screen, the more ads they can show you and make lots of $$$.<\/p>\n

It’s easy to lose track of time and then realise you’ve been scrolling mindlessly for over an hour. (Or is that just me?)<\/p>\n

Instagram is not without its benefits. It’s a great place to find artistic inspiration and meet other creative people from all over the world. I’ve made lots of crafty IG friends which I’ve actually met in real life in places as far away as London and Hong Kong!<\/p>\n

Caught up with @sweaterspotter today. So lovely to finally meet Anna in person. We ate a proper full English breakfast but Emma and I skipped the beans. #MyPoppetvisitsLondon<\/a><\/p>\n
