Advice 4 Life as a Cartoonist.

 

To be fair I spend half my waking day as a cartoonist and the morning half as a baker. Very busy days as I try valiantly to do the things I like as well as pay the rent. Not hard really there's just a few things that I've found can make it all go smoothly.

1. Have a plan- keep a focus or a goal with a deadline on a visual poster or calendar works to remind you what is going on and how much you need to do. Very handy for lazy and tired people.
2. Keep positive- I know it sounds silly but you'd be surprised at how much things change if you put a smile on your face and think of happy things. Try not to dwell on things that go wrong however choose to laugh at how crap it is and know that with a better attitude you can do better.
3. Indulge- whether be in hobbies, exercise, some brain dead activity or sleeping. It's important to take pleasure in your life no matter where you can get it.
4. Working attitude- Always work as if you're working for yourself, trust me if you feel that what you do is for yourself even if it clearly isn't, you'll try harder and take more pride. Don't forget how time flies when your busy.
5. Don't doubt- Not easy. Try to just run with it, be present and make snap decisions. Remember that being independent means owning your decisions. Be fair on yourself but.
