2008 Year Goals (Stickied)
First, I'll keep this at the very top of the journal to remind myself. Then I will go on to add some more as they come up...
Edit: Changed goals on 1/19
First I'm considering weeknights to be Monday thru Thursday. 1 hour of art for 2 out of the 4 weeknights. Friday thru Sunday will be my weekend. 6 hours over the course of the three days, however it works best. That gives me 8 hours of art a week. Doesn't sound like all that much but I think it's more realistic considering my work schedule and other stuff.
I'll spend an hour a week on Mint Cheesecake stuff. Something that involves it but not the art...Like making t-shirts, buttons, ordering prints, the website, inventory, or whatever.
So there. 9 hours with the arty stuff. And that'll come out to something like 36 hours a month. That'll be the monthly minimum, and I'll say that 40 hours of the month will be the happier goal.
This is not only great for making sure I sit down and spend time doing art, but also to help me see what I can accomplish. Right now I'm going through doing art willy-nilly and never know how long I work on a picture or whatnot. This should give me a much better picture on what I get done.
I found a free time tracking program online. I'm not sure if I like it all that well but it will work for now.
