Tracking my progress
today’s update is about productivity. i’m a big fan of metrics and writing things down. since 2019 i have been keeping count of my productivity on this beautiful planner from Muji. my goal is consistence, daily progress, 30minutes or 3hours, doesn’t matter. progress is slow and it’s all about building the habit.
my goal is to create art or more specifically to work on my animated short FRANK. every night before bed i journal in my planner and add a Yes or No depending on if i worked on my project. i don’t beat myself up for missing days, i simply try not to miss to many in a row. in the end as long as i have more positive months then negative months i’m happy
this pic from 2019 shows a great strong start but in March my bday month my productivity drops due to my celebration of my bday.
last year however i was extremely productive due to covid starting and travel being shut down. i spent my bday in my room, working remotely on zoom
this year i started strong as i usually do, but then in march my productivity dropped, due to my bday month. i took a weekend trip to a cabin in rome ny. and i went on a few dates…so my routine was not normal
