Be regular and orderly in your life so that you may be violent and original in your work
Take care of your well-being
It takes a lot of energy to be creative. Conserve your energy for it
I used to neglect my health in the form of staying up until 3am every night. Now, I keep a healthy sleep schedule. Still tired all the time tho.
Stay out of debt
Make a budget
Say no to consumption culture
Save as much as you can
Keep your day job until you can do art full-time
Provides financial security
Puts you in the path of other human beings
Learning new skills that can be used for art, such as research, selling, and web design
I don’t want to do art as a full-time career. After lots of soul searching I have decided I’m happier keeping my art as a hobby. I enjoy the freedom of doing art on my own terms, instead of toiling for somebody else’s dream.
Establishing a routine is more important than having a lot of free time
How much time can I set aside for art?
Get a calendar and plan work with concrete goals
Get a streak going
I need to get back into making to-do lists. I should also make better use of the calendar and impose deadlines on myself to improve discipline
I am currently thinking about how I can allot more time for art in my schedule. It’s been almost completely pushed out of my life without me realizing. It’s no wonder I’ve been in a rut.
Keep a log book
List what you do every day. Small details remember you remember the big details
I keep multiple notebooks for writing and record-keeping. I have been able to stay committed to this habit for multiple years and I am proud of that. It has come in handy many times.
What’s the best thing that happened today?
Encourages a more positive perspective
Better than the automatic negative bias
How did I challenge myself today?
Marry well; a good partner will keep you grounded.
Not limited to just romantic partners. It can be family, friends, or roommates. The right person, regardless of their role in your life, will hold you accountable.
