I have thirty-two hours a week, on average, of free time.

I unwind from my busy schedule during those hours. Or I use that time to reorganize my life, clean my apartment, and socialize with family and close friends.

The amount differs with every interruption and lag. But those hours are the norm.

Thirty-two house are what I have to go by for this art pursuit to work.

In Dispatch x002 I talked about what and how I will practice to improve my drawing skills. To see those routines through, I have to consider when I’m capable of doing the work. This has been the least of the two biggest barriers.

Mornings are ideal because it’s before other commitments get in the way. Mornings are when my mind is clearest and my energy is at its highest. Drawing at the end of the day is possible, but I have to fight against lethargy to get anything drawn.

What makes my mornings so difficult to maintain is my phone addiction. I love YouTube and other forms of entertainment, and my phone feeds the addiction. Without it, going to bed early and rested would be simple. And going to bed early ensures my mornings are relax and focused.

I have a stronger reason to kick that habit this time around. I won’t be able to promote myself as an artist if I don’t post. And I can’t post if I’m not drawing. So I will kick this addiction and track the gradual progress in future posts.
