UPDATE - I want a change
Added 2020-10-18 23:21:02 +0000 UTCFirst of all I'm really sorry for being so quiet throughout this month!
The feelings I had last month got carried over to this month and just got worse, which left me in a deep demotivation hole. This doesn't feel like the first time I write something like that and it's not just my work but my entire life currently. I reflected on that and thought about what I really want to do and how I want to live my life and I came to the conclusion that I just can't function properly without having a core schedule. This includes my work, my household and my sleep. Everything is currently complete out of order, which goes on for way too long and I feel like even if I'm really motivated I won't be able to sustain it without a fixed lifestyle. I had this idea a while ago but never executed it.
Tomorrow (Monday) I want to create a core schedule of what and when I do something during a day. A friend suggested to start smaller and increase it progressively over time. I'll incorporate this suggestion and start with a smaller core schedule. This doesn't necessarily mean I don't work a lot this day, it's just about forcing a timeframe on me where I absolutely do nothing else than just work, social media, household or whatever the schedule says.
I have a smaller backlog of pin-ups and test animations I want to share the next couple days and tomorrow I'll finally start sitting down and finish my 2 projects, hopefully. I don't want to promise anything anymore because breaking those drags me down really badly but that's the goal for now.
Besides all that I'll keep what I said with my previous post. Planned are at least 2 batch updates for the Succubus Project and animation WIPs, if I can't deliver that I'm going to pause November.
I'll be completely transparent with my schedule and when I got one tomorrow I'd like to share it.
Anyway, I'm really sorry I couldn't post some bigger content with this post but I'll work hard on myself to be more productive in the near future.
I hope you had a great weekend, see you tomorrow!

Hey man don’t worry about it. Many of us are going through a challenging time too, and most have their worlds turned upside down. Totally understandable and I hope you continue to do or find what you love doing the most ;3 we support you!

2020-10-19 16:46:30 +0000 UTCThank you! But I really need a imaginary whip behind me. My lifestyle isn't what I want it to be. :/ I'm self-employed so I have to be my own boss and not my best buddy. :D I'll make sure to give me enough space to relax.

2020-10-19 10:58:16 +0000 UTCI fully agree but even though it's a hobby and job at once, I should treat it more like a job since this is what buys me food. I'm in a lucky position that I can do what I like as job and I should appreciate it more. Thank your for the feedback! <3

2020-10-19 05:36:35 +0000 UTCI think a lot of people can relate to this at the moment with this virus lockdown making things seem very bleak and out of control. I’d try and put a schedule in to your day so it doesn’t all blur into one, also make time for physical exercise everyday, healthy body healthy mind and vice versa. All the best!

2020-10-19 03:35:56 +0000 UTCNo need to apologize for anything! I completely agree with schedules. But try not to be too strict on yourself, once something starts feeling forced it is no longer fun and begins to feel like a chore. Just remember to give yourself some time off each week, if only a day to just chill and relax and not think about work!
