Well for starters, I’m at this school trying to remain on task while sick with the flu/cold. So am at around 50 – 60% productive level but I know I’m rarely at a 100% or possibly never. Based on my analysis I realized that with the steady responsibilities of personal issues, and completing my BFA and other classes, I am doing the best I can. I have spent nights at the school to complete assignments and I feel I got a substantial amount of work done. Despite this I know I am human without autism or a focus twitch to complete a task at all cost. I need and deserve time away from art or responsibility. The majority of my journey I have had parttime jobs and currently, I am planning to acquire a new one because bills don't stop. So I feel with all of the cards I am dealt I am doing pretty good job. Yes I can spend every waking moment doing art and going to work with minimal to no time for other things but that is not realistic for me. Some people, especially elitists, some artists or “established” professionals subliminally or boldly suggest I should spend years away from family and love ones, relinquish distraction that bring you some form of entertainment and just focus on art. So I wonder are they really happy? When they become old or deathly ill who will be there knowing you mostly lived a hermit life? Is there a balance to all this madness?
So what can I do to keep myself on task?
I have not made much production for this class in particular but I plan to continue progress weekly. I can especially ensure that I will get most of this project complete after April 20, 2017.
