--Well goals isn't really a schedule though,

--Somehow I feel it's better to let go of the schedule you set yourself and focus on just taking the next step

--The problem with that is, as soon as you missed one day/week/goal, it gets three times as difficult to get back on track though

--Not to offend any person whom created their thread, but I have found if someone starts a thread in there, they should keep them self responsible for what they started.

--As much it says Death line, it should be called Death Section instead. Hehe.

--Gonna change the section of goals for sure though, already completed my 21 days challenge for exercising,
29 Aug 05:52
--Preparing to start my own goal thread as well, I have found the exercise blogging kept me doing it because 1) I'm posting it 5 times a week for peoples to read 2) It was fun, and still is.

--I was just thinking that the other day. Lazy me, just putting it in my sketchbook, haha.

--By the way, don't forget to document your 1 month challenge in the thread you started :D

--Makes sense, Hermi. I think that my process before failed me because I was so intimidated by how much I needed to learn that I lost steam. And now I'm seeing that the process can fail-- And when that happens, it's time to make a new process.

--Since I'm doing a couple of switches, such as taking the conventional way/academic kind of approach for a month, to see what it's like to learn through such system.
29 Aug 05:36
--Yeah my overall learning changes every few months or so, at start it was a set amount of numbers, now its more of what steps I want to take, and develop mini-goals that gets me one brick closer towards the long term goal, which in itself is to get better with drawing a "specific subject", but currently going through that phase.

--I'm just explaining why it seems to be helping-- And, that said, it might change.. In fact, I'm counting on it. And then I'll change it up again. Keep it fresh.

--So, after 88 hand/arm things, I'll move onto torsos, and then to legs/feet, and then the whole figure, and then cycle back, or do colour studies. It's nice to have a focus, whereas before I was kinda spreading everything out and lacked direction.
29 Aug 05:33
--It's been successful in changing things up for me, but it's not my usual way of doing things. I'm actually pretty encouraged with it. For me, my goal is progression-- Even if my 'deathline' is 88 hand/arm stuff, I know that I'm not finished with them yet. I can -see- that my skill isn't going to be mastery. But it gives me a plan to go by, which is something I lacked before.

--and "40 down, ten to go" certainly helps to put me into exactly the wrong mindset
29 Aug 05:32
--but for studies, you don't want to get in the mindset that the finished piece is the end product
