Love the art, Sam! I'm procrastinating, too. Just can't bring myself to dust/vacuum. And, since most of my pneumonia is gone, I can't use it as an excuse.
Procrastinating is just a natural thing we all do, I am person who hates to leave things to the last minute but sometimes happens...life happens. Like Beth Spencer mentioned the pomodoro technique is great in these scenarios, I use it now all the time and it helped me to focus hugely during my uni years! Beautiful drawings Samantha, your new book will be amazing ✨️ you got this! Happy 2024 and congratulations for the 1st Substack anniversary 🙂
Do you ever do the pomodoro time blocking technique? It's all that got me through my roughs and thumbnails! I sometimes think in blocks of 25 minutes now! I'll sit down just for one block get more done in that 25 minutes than a whole day of drawing.
Love seeing your beautiful sketchbook pages here. The blackbird in the foreground makes me smile!
I love how you reframed procrastination as a positive action. I catch myself putting things off by cleaning, taking a class, or working out -- which are all pretty rewarding. And maybe timed and location drawings sort of train us to work fast under pressure, right? Okay, now I'm procrastinating! 😉
You'll meet that manuscript deadline! Happy Substack-aversary, Sam!
