I’ve wasted a year of my life doing nothing (from early 2022 – early 2023).
So here’s my
1. Guide to Wasting your Life
1. Don’t have goals and wing it. It’s key. 🔑
2. Always spend time thinking, do nothing.
3. Think small, Act Big.
4. Don’t Aim Big. Think incrementally. 🔎

How to apply this to your craft / art?
– Leverage is KING in life. Pick Art Projects that accrues in value over time.
– Test instead of thinking. 2 week experiments and 100 Day Projects are best.
– Avoid Short term Art.
– Have clear 6-12 week goals and make daily progress.
– Zoom out into the future – ask what would a productive year of art be like.
– Create a List – Choose the the TOP project and discard the list.
– Collect Good Art projects each year (that you make)
