Something horrifying happened today at work, and I‘ve got no one else to blame than me. In the recent weeks I’ve been spreading myself too thin, a bad habit of mine. Between my work, my mother’s company/clients, my sister’s drama of the day, insomnia’s return, tight drawing schedule that I made for myself and wanted to keep no matter what, I became negligent.
I won’t neglect the people around me, and I don’t want to neglect my drawing, but it’s becoming impossible for me to keep up with everything, especially when I don’t get enough sleep.
I need a schedule/deadline for drawings/projects that I can orient myself on, but the current one seems impossible for me to keep. So, I’m giving myself more lee-way.
– I will NOT stress myself over a missed daily scribble, and will take the time of commute to nap when I need to. I made the rule of dailies for myself because initially I needed that kick; not anymore.
– From now on, the b-day drawings will be posted not on the day, but with a flexibility of a week (I love the characters and really want to draw them all at least once)
– Merlin au will go up once a month, on the 24th. (I’ll adjust that if/when I feel like I can do more)
– Independent doodles or requests are not included in this schedule, but if I can’t finish something within a day I’ll drop it.
I’m trying to stay sane right now, and making adjustments in my schedule calms me down. I never know my own limits until something goes wrong, but I learn. And next time, hopefully, the one to suffer from my mistakes won’t be someone else.
