What does your schedual look like?

[TheNiceZombie]

Hahaha, we are like the polar opposite of one another xD
We'll if it works it works ~

@KRWilliams Oh, you put "Freedom" and "Must Promote" on there. That's smart I'm gonna incorporate that to my routine for sure! Thank you

@WriterLinXiaolong I see you are putting effort into your workout! There will be a time when I'll get to that as well ~
Looking GOOD!

@punkarsenic I like that you work in so short intervals, that's why I really like working during the morning because I can't help but go overtime. Night just isn't as great.

@mariusthered Planing out the next day is really good because you get a head-start and hit the ground running! I'm taking notes ~ Thank you

My schedule is a little more loose than I really would like. I need to tighten it up, since I’m adding more and more projects. But generally:

Sun: Write, post, comment, melt into pile of goo, game night.
Mon: Write, post, comment, chores, gym
Tues: Write, post, comment, ANYTHING ELSE that I need to do or want to do, the rest of the day is MINE
Wed: Write, post, comment, chores, gym
Thurs: Write, post, comment, chores, Brooklyn 99/dinner with friends
Fri: Write, post, comment, chores, gym
Sat: Write post, comment, melt into pile of goo

There are times when ‘chores’ turns into ‘stare at YouTube’. ...More often than I would like XD Also, as a substitute teacher, sometimes that schedule gets thrown way off if I have a job.

I LIKE seeing people’s schedules, though! How they’re organized, what they list. This is inspiring!

Not set in stone- n the weekdays(Mon-Thurs) I'll probably work on comic pages for 3 hrs tops, then hop in the bed so that I can get enough sleep to function at my day job the next morning.

On Fridays I'll work as late as I can before I crash- usually I'm watching a movie while working on stuff...Saturdays, I'll A) start working on pages mid afternoon & then take an early evening break to get things done or B) start in the evening after I get chores/errands done. I almost always work late on Saturday night and end up crawling into bed in the wee hrs of the morning.

Sundays I start in the afternoon, but I usually cut it off a little early to get myself in "day job work week" mode; the only times that I will work a little later on Sunday is if I have a page that I have to finish.

[LittleMissDevil]

My dayjob does prevent me from having a stable schedule, since I do not work the same weekdays every week. In theory I work 4 days a week, so I try to have one of my free days for relaxing, running errands and all that, maybe another for meeting with friends and the rest of my free days for drawing. I only do one page a week so it is doable.

I tend to draw around 5 hours on a free day (which is enough to get the linework and the color for one page done). I do the scanning, the digital editing, the lettering and the scheduled updates mostly on workdays. I have to be at my job at 2pm, so I do have enough time before to get some things done. Sometimes I draw before work as well, when I get out of bed on time. ^^

When I do have more free days or a vacation I try to draw much more though. The day of the update (Monday) tends to sneak up on me, so I try to draw ahead when I can. Not that I actually manage to do that all that often.

[TheNiceZombie]

That's some hustling you got! 1000 words a day sound like a lot!
Are you working in intervals? It's actually productive to take breaks.
I usually try to do 30 minutes of work and then a 10-minute break. Rinse and repeat ~

Maybe that could help your focus. When the timer is ticking down you know it's writing time.

@dragonsparking That sounds scary to me : S
I need that order like I need oxygen but I guess it's the other way around for you ~

@amcodamonkey I think a whiteboard to write what you want done each day is a great start. It doesn't even have to be one of those big ones you put on your wall. Just taking a step forward is always a good investment : >

@ghostmaya WOW! You have accumulated such a strong following without a schedule!? I am very impressed O.O
Teach me your ways oh great one ~

[MrTwennysebben]

Yikes, I'm kinda glad I consider myself more of a "hobbyist" now...

Normally I only "work" on days I'm not at my day job, the schedule being: draw on Thursdays (if grandma can actually take the kiddo to her house) and try to get most of the strip done, then if I still have stuff left over I try to finish up coloring and backgrounds on Friday, then do all the thumbnails and previews and Instagram stuff and schedule the upload for Saturday. Basically I get two days a week where I'm allowed to hide in my bedroom and crank out dumb jokes about pizza. Not sure if I'll get much done today, Grandma couldn't take the little one so I'm sure I'll get a lot of "backseat arting" later on. "Are you going to make that green? You should make that green." She's adorable but she's got some years to go before she'll make a decent assistant.

I like the idea of a small white board! I'm also thinking about using an app too that will have a popup or something. Hmm ideas...

[CodeMonkeyArts]

I am a new mama of a teeny baby howler monkey. I fear for when he is able to walk and talk and...shudders give his opinions. My hubby is the primary caregiver, so when I get home from work, he gets the break he needs, so I don't have a lot of free time until after the howler monkey gets to bedtime.

[GrimRose]

Keep in mind I work a constantly changing schedule so my hours are usually all over the place but...

Mon-Thursday 1-3 hours Drawing while watching Youtube/ listening to music, Work
Friday- My day off- 3-10 hours Drawing while watching Youtube/ listening to music.
Saturday and Sunday- Go grocery shopping, Vegetate on the Bed, Work

I work full time so art is currently a hobby. Since I practically just draw art in my free time after work, I can't imagine how much I could get done if I was an artist fulltime.

I'm also a night owl that stays up to the ungodly hours of the night because that is the time when art inspiration strikes!

[lorphis]

I don't really have a schedule but I've weekly goals. I want to be able to make 4 pages every week and post new art weekly on my social media.

[Rhonder]

My schedule's real real loose:

So firstly I work a full time job Mon-Fri, so everything's organized around that. I generally try to spend at least a little while most days after work working on my comic or side projects (~1-2 hours) but there are days where I don't feel like it and either just veg on video games or hang out with friends instead.

My goals are usually getting up to or through the inking for the week's comic page(s) by Friday evening though. Then unless I have something going on early, like a hike with friends or wev, Saturday mornings are usually dedicated to getting as far through the coloring as possible (or occasionally finishing inking, then onto colors).

Saturday evenings are often lost to social activities so then I pick up the rest of the slack Sunday, and work until the page is done, and then post asap since Sunday is my upload day (used to have buffer and schedule updates for around noon PST... nowadays I usually finish 3pm or later and just throw it up whenever lmao).

[azzy-m]

Sunday - Thursday: At school for 8 hours, from 7AM to 3PM (yes I know. I want 8AM classes, too.). I come home usually at 3:50. I spend like 2 hours to eat and kind of rest after getting home. Then I spend the rest of the day working on homework and/or the comic until around 10 or 11 PM, then I go to sleep. I try to squeeze in time to draw the comic in between weekdays.

Friday and Saturday are my weekends, so I either spend the whole day doing the comic (or homework, but usually the former since my school doesn't really give homework to do in the weekends) or I spend a few hours doing the comic/homework and go out with my family after that.

[draweththeraven]

the last time i actually stuck to doing this kind of work on mondays and fridays was so long ago i literally cant remember (thanks executive dysfunction), but on top of all this i try to do a bit of comic and uni assessment work each day, including weekends! i also try to draw or write something if i have time and energy

[OttoGruenwald]

Schedule? What in the world is a schedule?

[CodeMonkeyArts]

Well currently using Todoist and trimming it down so I focus on just the creative task (with one or two offshoot errands). Though not a physical board, at least it's a start and it's something I can update weekly.
