Hey Crew!

Welcome back! How is everyone doing? Things are coming down to the wire. Don’t forget to register to vote for the November elections. Some States are allowing early voting due to the fact we are going to be relying heavily on mail-in ballots for this election. So look it up and get to it. Change is coming, which side of history are you going to be with? That is all for today’s public announcement.

What is September Going to Bring?

Classes start the 3rd

The Zodiac Series will be ending on the 19th

New main series starts the 26th

Learning to juggle the new schedule

Continue with set projects

So this is a rough idea of what my weeks are going to look like for like the next 4 years. And things will also fluctuate with how dense each class will be. Basically I am trying to say is that if I seem to be late or posts are shorter than usual, this is why. And I have to remember to keep up with my self care routine and to take breaks through out the day so I don’t get stressed out and lose my marbles. One could argue that I already have lost my marbles, but tomato tomato.

And that is all the major events for September 2020. However, it is still 2020 and things can and most likely will change. Tomorrow’s Fan-Art Tuesday is going to be a tribute to a hero. His death had an impact on me that I am still trying to unpack myself. Remember to stay safe and to stay sane. And remind your loved ones that they are loved and you value them in your life.

Until next time,

Hey Crew!

Welcome back! How are you guys been doing? We are in the last two weeks of August already. I have no idea where the time is going. Someone go tell Father Time to slow his roll. Sweet, buttery, milk biscuits it feels like there is no time left. The struggle. I have a love/hate relationship with time. The worst invention in human history is the keeping record of time. Anyways, sorry for the negative thought train, lets get back to the show.

Mind Over Matter

You all know I am terrible at keeping a schedule. Luckily, because of corona, I have had no 9-5 and a lot of free time. But I am still struggling on procrastination and productivity. It is a curse that I have always had, because I convinced myself that I make better work when I have no time to play around with things. I can’t keep doing that. I can’t keep waiting til the last minute and barely get by. That is not a good work ethic. So, I have to change that mind set.

It takes 28 days to form a new habit. I can’t wish for things to change over night, and I know that. I have to convince myself that this is my new 9-5. I maybe at home and have a ton of distractions, but I have to change that. With school work coming and possible client work in the future, I can’t waste any time. I want my art career not an art hobby.

In other words, I have to really schedule my days out. I have to be consistent and stick to my schedule like super glue. I should probably get a planner that breaks things down to the way I want it. For my brain, I can’t rely on digital calendars and schedules. For some reason, I forget things way easier and never look for my schedule on my phone. There is something about handwriting and a physical book that makes everything click.

After getting a planner, I am going to seriously let my family and friends know that they can’t reach during the hours of X and Y. I have to treat this like a job now. I can’t just get up and go help do chores or go out and about whenever something comes up. Just cause I am home doesn’t mean I have time to do anything else. I have to be treated like I am away at a job and can’t leave just cause. Please respect that of me.

So it is going to be a mind over matter type of deal. It is going to be hard for just me, myself and I to get used to things, and I am going to need the people in my life to respect that. I am at work. I am doing my job. Things can wait. My new mantra is “I am at work, I will get to have fun after the day’s work”. I just have to train my brain into recognizing that. It takes 28 days to form a new habit. I can do this. This is my dream. This is what I want out of life. This is my career. This is what I love to do. I can do this.

Thank you for listening to my little rant. I am so glad you guys are here with me. You keep me going and plowing through. Thank you. Please stop by tomorrow for the next Fan-Art day. You are going to see what made me fall in love with the moon. See you all then! Remember to stay safe and to stay sane.

Until next time,

Suzanna 🌙
