I well, I guess we'll see how this all goes. I don't normally do well with weekday goals but I'm willing to give it a try. I just need to schedule everything out appropriately and not be so lazy. Though, commenting on Instagram posts shouldn't be too hard. I can do that at any time.
Also, I came across this video and felt like sharing. Take what you wish from it. Link

Not too bad. Of course I failed at social media but sometimes I don't have anything to about some of the posts. I also didn't get my finish studies done but that's fine. I got sick mid-week so I had other things to worry about but it was a pretty productive week. I have more stuff planned for this weekend.

Foundryside by Robery Jackson Bennett
I figured I would update now before since I'm finishing up the last thing. It was a very successful weekend. I'm pleased with my end results. I also did some fish studies. I'm not done with them but I'm hoping to do a final piece before the end of the month.  I used Preppy pens to sketch these. It was a learning curve but I figured it out.  I used a mixture of things. Preppy pens + water is fun. I also used my dip pen, ink and watercolor for the bigger fish. (Thanks erin for the inspiration. I'm hoping to use the popeyed goldfish as my finished piece)

So, I didn't get a lot of revisions in but that's okay. I'm going to keep working on it throughout the week. And while I didn't do a skillshare class, I did do a YouTube tutorial for digital art so I figured it would count. My project is below. It's one of the 5 in the video so I'm going to work on the other ones later. It took me some time to get this one down because I need to familiarize myself with the brushes I have. I wrote a lot of blog posts and did a lot of brainstorming this weekend. I have a lot more that I need to work with for this novella series I'm working on. The planning party was a lot of help though. Also, I got a lot of instagram followers this weekend. I don't know how many of them will stick around but my map post really helped. Now I think I'm going to post my weekday goals Jan. 18th - 22nd- Read: [Finish] Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett | [Start] Shorefall by Robert Jackson Bennett & Writing the Intimate Character by Jordan Rosenfeld

I guess Writing the Intimate Character could go under the Learn category that I usually have but...yeah. I'll just keep it under Read. Anyway these are my weekday goals. I'm going to keep my revision goals to that 75% that I failed to reach this weekend. If I hit it, I'll try to finish lesson 2. I'm pretty excited about these bento I'm going to make for my instagram posts. I'm probably going to make them weekend bento since making them isn't practical for me during the weekday. I only have one bento box.

Well done at all the crossed out tasks! You are doing fantastic  Thank you! The person doing the tutorial has tutorials on grass and rocks and I took those too. It was so helpful. I probably couldn't do that without it. I've always wanted to make concept art and landscapes. It would be so much fun.

Well, it was a pretty good week. I need to get back into editing so I think that's going to be my main focus for the weekend since I failed to do it again. I'm at a tedious part of my revisions. But anyway, on to my weekend goals. Jan 19th - 20th- Revise: Lesson 2: 45%/100%
- Social Media: Instagram posts: 0/3 | Blog: 0/1 | Interact with others (the hardest task)
- Maps: 1 region
- Art: Sketch-a-Day: 0/2 | Fish Studies | Coloring book page (colored pencil practice) | Make stationery for penpals (maybe?)
- Read: Shorefall by Robert Jackson Bennett (Audiobook)
- Chores: Clean desk | Laundry | Meal Prep
This looks good for my weekend goals. Now, if only I can get up early tomorrow to get started on some of these (Revisions), it should go well. If I manage to finish 95% of my goals, I'll spend the week working on revamping my website. I threw it together last time and it needs some changes...and some updates.

Nice to see you again, Tracey!
I was thinking about putting in one of the word counters, but I prefer a simpler page. I'm still thinking about it. I don't know.
Great set of goals you've got there. I wish you the best of luck in achieving them.
I ought to get one of those 'To do' apps. I have a bunch of little stuff I need to get accomplished but I never get around to it. Whenever I write a list, I always end up losing it somewhere. If it was on my phone, I'd actually know where it was.
It looks like you're making quick work of all your goals. I love your drawings of the fish. So detailed and colorful! I also love the drawing of the little pond. I love that you can see all the little blades of grass. I also like the little sandy path. I can easily imagine someone fishing there. Great work!

good luck getting through enough to work on the website! i think doing a tutorial and ending up with a finished project should totally count like a skillshare classe.

Gemma : Thank you! I know what you mean about losing lists so I just put them on here. If I have to go into more detail, I write them on a sticky note and keep it on my desk. Always on my right since everything else is on my left (I'm left handed). It helps. erin : Thanks! I did manage to hit 95%. I completely forgot about my little reward but I think right now I'm going to do some research and sketch out some possible layouts I want to try. I'll have more time on the weekend to completely revamp the whole thing. Especially if I get everything ready beforehand. Jan 19th - 20th- Revise: L
esson 2: 100%/100%
- Social Media:
Instagram posts: 3/3 | Blog: 1/1 | Interact with others (the hardest task) - Maps:
1 region - Art:
Sketch-a-Day: 2/2 | Fish Studies | Coloring book page (colored pencil practice) | Make stationery for penpals (maybe?) - Read:
Shorefall by Robert Jackson Bennett (Audiobook) - Chores:
Clean desk | Laundry | Meal Prep
- Added: Finished the 5k Weekend | Worked on lesson 3 | Hit my savings goal for the 1st quarter (for now this might change if there's an emergency)
I did almost everything on my list except make stationery but I'm okay with not crossing that off my list since I finished several other things. I was surprised to see how much I finished over the weekend and how quickly I managed to finish everything. I was done with tasks before 5pm each time. Now onto my weekday goals Jan. 25th - 29th- Revise: Lesson 3: 0%/100%
- Social Media Posts: Instagram: 0/2 | Blog: 0/2 | (These are all scheduled)
- Maps: Forests
- Art: Sketch-a-day: 0/5 | Scan in artwork for clean up
- Read: Writing the Intimate Character by Jordan Rosenfeld
- Other: Write penpals | Research website designs for inspiration
My goals for the week. They are pretty easy but my schedule is all over the place. I need to remember to also do the prompt challenge erin is doing. There are some good ones on there but that might have to wait for the weekend. I don't know why I put my social media posts on there since they are already done and scheduled but...oh well.
