Bookend's Sketchbook

[meat]

What else is going on in your surroundings while you study? I find that patience can be trained, and there are different ways to do it. One way is to buy a kitchen timer (preferably one that beeps instead of obnoxiously ticking away to end in a raucous ringing), and make yourself suffer through 30 minutes to 1 hour of absolutely nothing but sitting there drawing - no touching keyboard (not even to change music, if at all any music), looking up at any screen, or even bathroom. I have, unfortunately, an obnoxious kitchen timer, and I'm still working on making this method work myself.
