There was this quote I once saw that fits here really well: "If you commit to nothing, you will be distracted by everything."
"Action comes before motivation" - I need to glue this to my freakin wall.
“Using thinking as procrastination” is EXACTLY what I do. This is a great video, thank you for all your content! Inspiring.
I feel really called out by this advice
So basically "I can do anything, but I can't do everything. And that's okay"

When you came here for lil drawing advice and heck now it feels like Ive figured everything in my life.
this is not a drawing advice, this is life advice. thank you so much for sharing this
“Thinking is a form of procrastination...” that’s a sentence I needed to hear👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
As a creative person who suffers from too many hobbies, this hit home really, really hard. Thanks for sharing!
"don't half-ass two things, whole-ass one thing" -Ron Swanson, Parks and recreation
"You're laying a single brick of a million different houses and then expecting one day it'll magically become a mansion" Avoids eye contact I feel attacked!
Every now and then YouTube recommends a real gem to me.
I'm on drawing day 359 thanks to your advice. Just checking back to let you know I just moved into my very own studio space. Your advice has changed everything for me. Thank you. Sending LOTS OF LOVE!
As Ron Swanson once said, "Never half-ass two things when you can whole-ass one thing"...
"Draw every day" is advice I have heard often, but I have never heard "Draw one thing and do it every day" before. This actually helps me a lot, and is a good spring board for more hours of work.
Ok, man, you did it, you broke my dream of being a genius painter, a king of writing, a master of sculpture, a ninja of poetry, a superman of comic drawing, a titan of broadway plays... and now I have to tear off my master degree in Procrastination! Thanks a f*** lot! I about to turn 60 and you just gave one freaking reason to be myself, ie creative but focussed. I am going to cancel my membership to eternal delays club and start drawing a... uh... ... well, I’ll decide this tomorrow! (Very good advice, really appreciated)
"Act, THEN get inspired" holy shit I think THIS is my life changing advice. Most of my writing comes from a place of inspiration, which I tend to get often, but with ADHD, I never worked on the same thing. My one drawing a day is going to be a cat, I think. I'm gonna draw my cat, Bebop, every day for a year. I will try to update this comment every week or so :)
