Learning to Cope [Le Life Update]
8 years ago
General
As the title says, I've reached a point where I realized that I will always be busy with real life distractions (family, home, university etc) and that I need a real work over in the time management department...
I'm not proud of my commission backlog and I really am working towards finishing it. I realized I was also a bit of a perfectionist and took long lengths of time and effort to get whatever perceived imperfection right. This wasn't just art, but with University as well. I was determined to be one of the top student teachers (my Masters is in Teaching) and I worked my ass off on my school placement.
Didn't take long for me to burn out and at one point I was sobbing in front of my coursemates and supervisor (urgh). That was when I told myself I needed to be less of a nitpick and to learn to manage my time better.
I'm doing better now, atleast I realized what I was doing wrong.
My school placement is over but I have non-stop lectures til May 18th before semester break and a research thesis to come up with. It isn't fun D'x
Art wise, I have a few small personal projects done and while I'm still working on my backlog, whatever new commissions I'll be opening will mostly be sketches, just to keep the finance coming in. Most of my updates are on Twitter anyhow so you can pop in there for any latest stuff :)
Annnddd that's it for now. *oozes into a puddle*

I do know that you are a passionate and tender hearted woman and I admire that more than anything. It's hard to be soft hearted but your reward is greater. I am so tired please understand I feel your pain and would hug you forever if that's what you needed.
Thank you still for your kind words, I really appreciate it :))
*Hugs* You're a strong person. Thank you for inspiring the same.
