>>3607133A very interesting Idea. I'll have to give it a try, though I don't wanna become a lardbeast so I'll go for a coffee or some matcha unless it has to be sugar I take in to supplement me, then I'll find another way. I always love productivity boosters, even if I learn about them and never seem to apply them.
as for working in quiet, I guess it's alright. I usually only work in quiet when I'm so in flow state that I can't be bothered to get more music/ noise. My only issue is that sometimes the quiet can be too much, I'm not really comfortable sitting there with just my own voice bouncing around in my brain
>>3607167I didn't mention this but my time blocks of 3-4 hours are not really consecutive, in that I usually take a 20-minute break every 90 minutes on. But I get in 2 cycles of being on and then my next one, the quality just seems to plummet until I take a break from being productive for at least an hour. I despise this because when I come back I feel all this negative resistance for fucking up my day.
and, as I write this, I realize how much it is just me fucking myself over. I should just allow a little more time after the second stint to reset before returning. Because as it is now, if I power through it, ruins any chance of being productive during the night and that's even more wasted time
>>3607156lmao, fitting for an "Art Camp". I'll have to find an audiobook of it sometime
>>3606960saved this one for last in my reply chain because It had something that I wanted to adress. The whole reason I'm 4 years into studying with no working job at this point, is due to my lack of a portfolio. The reason I don't have a portfolio is that I'm uncomfortable with my skill level, and the reason I am uncomfortable is that I did the whole "just draw what you want" thing and it fucked me. You do your own thing, you'll never force yourself to do the art that helps you grow and if you never do that, you dig your own grave
