I haven’t updated the site in five days. Days can go by so quickly. There’s excitement and focus when a project starts, but life starts to creep in. If a project doesn’t become a habit, it will not take root. This is why forming habits and routines is so important. It creates a structure to capture time and withstand all the distractions of life. Think about how public school is set up. Students follow a very structured schedule. A day is divided into multiple classes that get roughly an hour per day. The student progresses on multiple fronts each day. As an artist or anyone attempting to create anything, not only do you have to work on creating the thing itself, you also have to create the routines and process. These are the “invisible” that cause an idea to become a reality versus staying an idea.
