Why You Should Favour Daily Work Over Large Time Blocks
<p>I used to struggle to find time for my creative pursuits and projects. I believed that I needed <em>enough</em> time to work on them. Because you must get into the zone to write, draw, create, or whatever it is you do.</p>
<p>So I learned new things how most people do. I learned when I had the time. Lots of time.</p>
<p>Of course, I had heard that doing <em>a little bit </em>every day would be beneficial, but I didn’t see how this applied to me. Coming home after a long day of work or school, I mainly felt drained and couldn’t get myself to sit down and work on my book or learn how to draw.</p>
<p>Every vein in my body urged me to drag myself to the sofa and relax.</p>
<p>Why should I work on writing my book every day for thirty minutes if I can just do it all on a Saturday when I have more than enough time to dedicate to it?</p>
<p>Here’s why.</p>
<h2>Large time blocks hardly work out.</h2>
<p>This large time block you think you can set aside for the weekend hardly comes around. Once Saturday has arrived, you realize all the other things that need your attention;</p>
<p>The apartment is dusty, and you need to buy groceries for the next week; your parents invite you for coffee or maybe everything at once.</p>
<p>These things often feel more justified and more important to do than following your online drawing course. I have also caught myself actively looking for other things to do than to sit down and work for this large chunk of time. This goes to my second point.</p>
