It seems like my to do list just gets longer and longer and longer and I feel like I'm never going to finish anything on it.
Most of the items on my list are just personal projects, like make a zine, draw a meet the artist pic, finish some commissions, do a charm/pin/sticker design, update website, etc. But I just can't seem to pull up the motivation to work on it. I think it's because even back when I was in school and didn't get something done, I became okay with the fact that if I fail it's my fault and I just kinda shrug it off, you know? I became more than comfortable with failing because it was the easiest thing to do.

Other than the commissions and mailing some things out, nothing else neeeeds to get done. If it doesn't get done, it doesn't get done, and it doesn't effect anyone else but me.
I know this isn't the best way to think about going and doing things. but it's hard to change old habits. So the list gets longer and nothing ever gets done.

But I want to change it. I want to get stuff done. I want to be productive and have merch to sell at cons and online and be posting *finished* illustrations and clear off my to do list so I can do other things. Not have projects that I've been wanting to do for years lingering over my head. It's just so overwhelming to do, and then I get angry at myself, and instead of getting motivation to do any work, I shut down and sit in a zoned out silence. I hate it.
