The sheer dedication required for any creative pursuit, like building a cohesive art collection or mounting a major exhibition, often demands a single-minded focus. I was deep in the final stages of preparing my first major gallery show, consumed by the physical work of framing, installation, and final catalog proofs, when I realized my mandatory professional development online class was about to expire. The art needed my hands and my eyes entirely, so I decided the practical thing to do was to arrange for someone to take my online class for me, preserving my limited time and energy for the high-priority, career-defining work of the exhibition itself.
