The link above is a short video about procrastination that is a bit drastic, but so honest in some ways!
I am currently redoing my studio schedule yet again - I needed to accomodate for a new job that will be taking up quite a big chunk of my time. SO...from now on I'll have 3 hours of studio time in the morning from 10am-1pm. Most of the time I favor doing creative work in the evening, but for now that isn't possible. We must do what we must in order to get things done, right?
I have to say that at first I only could come up with 2 hours of studio time per day, but I did some re-arranging in order to milk another hour's worth into my daily schedule. Prioritizing...every little bit helps. Two to three hours a day is much better than zero. I've been doing zero for about a week now, and it's driving me crazy. All work and no play makes Krystal an insane lady.
I have set some little goals into place for this week - I want to have my current painting finished by the end of my session on Friday. I'm hoping that two complete sessions and part of today will help me reach that. On Saturday, I hope to begin another that I will be able to finish throughout the next week. Little mountains to climb.
Over all, I'm trying to create another body of work by December. If a painting is accomplished about every week, it will be around 10-12 paintings, and that will put me into good shape for this December goal.
I've also decided to apply again for graduate school in January/February. I would love to teach at a college level and having my MFA would allow me to do that and gow in my own artistic development. I CRAVE graduate school.
GOALS, GOALS, GOALS. Now it's time to work!!
