Scheduling Creativity

For those wondering how the plan to create a spreadsheet in order to organize my creative chaos is actually going:

I’m keeping the load light this month, and I am still already slightly behind, lol. I’m updating as I go — I took longer to start the drawing of CyKeem than I thought I would, and wound up working on that exclusively instead of in tandem with the other illustration I was doing, so that one is getting pushed back.

But you know, like most things that are truly useful and functional, it’s a living document, and is allowed to move and change — but I will say, seeing things laid out, and at least having a devoted time to do certain things (even if those times need to be shifted over by a day or two) does make me feel more balanced.

As I get more accustomed to the system, I will likely populate it with more concurrent projects, but until then, focusing on one or two at a time is still fine. I’ve got no real deadlines (the submissions deadline you see if for a gallery where I will submit an extant piece) and am still just creating art I want to create right now, so I’m not in a hurry to make, make, make. I can afford to take my time and do this right.
