I have completed 86 days of #the100dayproject and am eager to reach the finish! It is amazing to spend the time to focus on one medium (along with its "friends" haha!) but I am excited to use some more of my neglected supplies. At the same time I don't want to stop doing gouache each day. Doing art every day is a goal of mine and honestly it is good for my mental health and brings me joy like nothing else.
I also worry about what happens to me after the 100 is over. I have had similar situations where the minute I take a break for a day it is easy to stop completely. One day at first then a week later another day, then next time it might be 3 days and before you know it, I have missed weeks and everything is a blur.
At the same time it is so hard to push myself to keep going every night even when I am tired and it's bedtime and I just don't feel like doing anything and know it is late and I have to get up at 5AM for the day job. Sigh. It's hard.
Sometimes I have trouble finding a balance and would love any tips you have for me on this or any techniques that have worked for you. I have done my utmost to not make anything about this project a chore or a time to have it consume so much time that it is untenable but I am hoping I can continue or find a way that doesn't leave me with another long block or contribute to my burnout and lack of sleep.
