Studio and Life

Each day I start my day job at 10am, but get into the studio around 7am, giving myself three hours each morning to do my own thing. Monday mornings are for planning, Friday's are for editing the #weeknotes, which leaves Tue-Thur, nine hours.

At the moment, and for the next few weeks/months I'm going to be recording the pen plotting tutorials, the big pile of index cards in the middle. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday has a blanket record/edit video task now, for like, ever!

I want to release the first module all in one go, so I need all of those done up front. Then I want to have 4-5 more in the "bag" so I can publish them once a week, while getting the next ones prepared.

This is basically my weekly plan now.

Over the past couple of days I 3d printed some more shelves, this time to hold A5 paper and cards. So now I have everything I need right at hand for giving to Kitty to write things out.

Hopefully now I've finished faffing around getting this part of the studio set up I'll now be even more inclined to send little notes and letters out!

This doesn't really fit under any of the other projects and I've been thinking about adding a "life" category anyway, so I guess it's here now.

I'm pretty pleased with these envelope and card holders. I've been keeping them in a plastic box, you can just about see it over on the left, which has added a little extra friction to the "just get Kitty to write/draw" something.

Basically I want things to be as easy and frictionless as possible, if I can't just reach for a card and an envelope the chances of it happening are greatly reduced, and the spontaneity is gone.

I'm busy printing one now to hold A5 paper and unfolded cards, and then I'll be all set with my own little "Post Office" area.
