A little experiment in productivity. I've been timing myself for 30 minute intervals, both to see how much I can do in that time, and to see how long I can stay focused on one artistic task. When the 30 minutes is up, an alarm goes off, and I switch to another project.
I've been doing this the past two days, and here's some of what I've accomplished:
I think it's working, though I'm finding switching tasks every 30 minutes a little tiring, so I'm starting to cheat a little and spend maybe an hour on one thing, and an hour and a half on another.
I've just got to find a groove that works. Since I started my new "irl" job last month I've been sick on and off all that time, so I've been obeying my pounding sinuses and sleeping a lot, rather than whipping them into submission. So I have no rhythm, and it's making drawing a chore rather than a pleasure. This cannot be borne!
