shingaLately I've been making some work rules for myself. The biggest one is "STOP AT 5PM"... the more I treat my commission work like a regular job, the more focused I'll be and the less I'll end up working until late in the night and burning myself out. Granted if I have a deadline I'm fine with working late, and sometimes I'll push it to 6pm if I'm just finishing one up and all I need is the extra hour to be done with it.
I think I'm also going to add "NO WORK ON SATURDAYS". Sundays I'm fine with, since I need to do Monday's comic anyway so I might as well do a bit of commission stuff too (though I'll be iffy on that one - maybe JUST the comic on Sunday is fine. Hell if I increase the number of updates per week I might just do comics all day Sunday... I dunno we'll see in the future :))
But yeah I want at LEAST my Saturdays open for relaxing, chores, etc. Especially when Will gets a job again and we can focus on spending those days doing stuff together (whether it's working on the house or relaxing or going out)
Yeah. Thinking, thinking.
Still sipping on my coffee this morning. After this I'll get up and at least do the dishes and straighten up the kitchen. Then I get started on the comic for tomorrow and if I'm still in "work mode" I'll do some commission work, even if it's just finishing up inking the latest pile of sketches so I can focus on coloring tomorrow. Actually that sounds like a good plan.
Determined to bring in more regular money. With Will unemployed (and with the possibility of taking a paycut when he DOES get a job) I want to step up more. Help out with a bit more of the bills, food, gas, etc. We've got that hopeful trip down south for TRF at the end of November and I'm wanting to handle the costs if at all possible. Tickets, gas, good, etc.
Okay. Gonna stop rambling and finish coffee now. ^^
