So...let's talk about Time Management

...I have pretty much all day to do art...

A long, free day ahead of you can be just as imposing as a blank canvas. And just like with a blank canvas, you need to scribble something on it as soon as possible to break that frozen state.

Perhaps you are the type who has a hard time starting, but once you do, can work like a maniac. For this, it helps to have some continuity day to day.

For example, if you are working through a perspective book from the library, you know as you sit down each day what you are going to do for practice. Or if you are working through a class posted here. Or working through all the Proko youtube videos, and doing the practices he suggests.

Also, 10,000 hours of practice will make you world class. (You will be good enough to start selling long before that, though.)

The more you work each day, the fewer years it will take to reach that level. At 1 hour a day, it would take 27 years. At 3 hours a day, it would take about 10 years. At a manic 6 hours a day, it would take 5 years.
