Still Procrastinating And Not Being Productive
One of the hardest things for me to admit, especially publicly, is how unproductive I have been with my time recently. In these last couple of weeks, you may have heard me talk on my YouTube videos or read in my blog here on my website about how I have moved into my own place. With that move came a lot of advantages and disadvantages. With it also came freedom to choose how I divided my time throughout a day. As I am writing this, I have just gotten back from an interview for a job that I am hoping to get with a tech company. I am excited about that opportunity and hopeful for it.
What I did wrong this past week, though, was skipping work at my regular job for no good reason and not doing anything productive during those couple of days that I had off from work. Well, I wouldn’t say it was all a waste, but a lot of that time was a waste, and I need to be sure that I do better. This blog post that I am making now is me holding myself accountable and making sure that I do better in the future.
The beautiful thing about life is that it continues to unfold, offering new opportunities to improve and learn from past mistakes. I tend not to learn from a mistake the first time, unfortunately. Of course, I am trying to improve in that area of my life. I do eventually learn the lesson, though, and that is a good thing.
It is not all bad, though. One thing that I have been continuously doing is making art. Art is something that I love to do and something that I will continue to do no matter what happens to me. Also, if you didn’t see my previous blog post, I started to live-stream more of my art. I have been able to stay consistent, which I am proud of, because some days I don’t always want to make art. I love art with a passion, but there are some days I just want to get away from it and relax. Once I do start to draw, though, all of those doubts and that feeling of not wanting to do art go out the window, and I start to remember why I fell in love with art in the first place. It relaxes me and gives me a release for any of my frustrations that I may have in my life.
This coming week in October, I am going to do better, and I am going to be sure that I am staying productive and continue to go after my goals of being an artist.
