Update for commissioners. New work schedule and hours.
a year ago
General
Hello everyone!
I have in the past vastly overworked myself so I aim to try and fix that by giving myself more free time. In the past I simply would work late into the night (and often early morning) to get things finished but this kind of thing is unstable and quite frankly bad for my health. As a lot of my long time followers know I do have some health issues and doing this honestly makes them worse and a consistent schedule is something that is best for me to help my body recover. Right now my health is my number one priority.
That all being said, what I am doing is only working from 9am to 6pm Monday to Friday GMT.
This extends to all my work, from drawing to streaming but most importantly correspondence between myself and commissioners. The only thing I will be doing outside of these hours is post artwork as posting that late into the night is best for engagement due to my time zone. Now this may slow down my replies to people but only by a few hours to half a day but it is important to me that I separate my work and free time hours. I will say that this extends to both Fa, twitter, email and most importantly to Discord. Out of my work hours I will not be talking about commissions or other such work related things. It might seem like a small thing to care about but I get multiple messages a day and due to my time zone I get a lot of messages very late into the night sometimes they have even woken me up!
This is a pretty big shift for me but I think it is for the best. I highly doubt this will affect any of my commissions outside of having to wait slightly longer for a reply from me should they contact me in the middle of the night. If anything I believe it will increase my productivity as I will have dedicated work hours and I will be able to get into that "work" mindset quickly. I also think I will feel more rested overall which in and of itself make me work quicker and more efficiently. I may be online or even streaming outside of my work hours but if I am doing so know that anything I am doing is purely personal work, of my own characters. Despite what people think I do in fact have a life and hobbies lmao.
Additionally I am using the next few days to fully update my profiles and clean out my galleries so things may look a little different! It will be a small change however I just feel it's time for a little refresh especially my galleries as they are a bit disorganized at the moment.
Should any of you have any questions please feel free to contact me about it and I will do my best to answer any and all questions.

So I think this will be a good, proper change. if nothing else silencing your phone for sleep purposes is probably a good idea xD but yeah! I hope this does what you want it to doo ; v ; b and hope it keeps you around and healthy for longer! :3
