TICKING CLOCK

Thanks for sharing, I agree. Mindless study attacks are horrible for they drain whatever energy you have. I'm pretty disappointed these days with how slow I paint, but realising this has made me more aware that I have a short time for all those paintings I'm planning to make, and now I waste less time with stuff that won't teach me anything, and I look for alternative ways to work faster and better.

Definitely check what you want to do with your life once in a while, be as specific as you can. It's terrible to drift around without a clear direction only to row back to that fork and set off again, we can only do so much in a day. The more you actually try to make stuff you realise your weaknesses and in your head everything can be sorted out really easily while in reality you make a bazillion mistakes, and get distracted, and even without mistakes, things just take a long time to create. Anyway, I'm in the exact position and just started this account so that I can come here and agree with you. Haha. Having friends that are driven and hardworking is incredibly motivating, especially if they're in the same industry. I've always been surrounded with lazy friends who have no goals in life, or the energy to reach the goals they want to accomplish. I'd be more than happy to keep in touch with you, friendly competition, simple conversation or venting about concept art would be awesome.

This is an amazing article about procrastination that I share with everyone, it clears a lot of things in your head because the writer labels the actions a procrastinator does, so after reading this you will become aware when you're murdering time, and hopefully you'll go back to work.
