The Vital Art of Being Productive

The title of this is meant to be a ironic.
 Because I have recently been everything except productive. XD

This week we had a Teacher work day on Friday, which meant that we had a half-day on Thursday, and with Presidents Day on Monday that pretty much makes for a four-day weekend for us.

I am okay with this fact, and I actually intended on getting a lot done. But unexpected events mixed with exhaustion and, to be completely honest, a large wave of lazy coach-potato-ness resulted in nothing really getting done. :|

Okay, so I did my laundry.
Well, I washed it. 

And dried it.

The folding part might take some time, though. :|

And I went to the temple (and received a lot of answers to prayers, which means a lot of change on my part) and I got to spend time with my adorable nephew, so those count for something. :)

However, that still means that I will be doing "All the Things" on Monday. :)

But here is what I am intending on working on:

1. Finishing a commission for a friend of mine in Alaska. She and her students will be doing a fundraiser in late spring, and needed an image for that. I will also be working on a logo design for her family's non-profit organization. :) So far this is about 80% done.

I have all the parts illustrated and colored, but I have to combine everything together on the computer and make sure that it is a high enough quality to print off for banners as well as posters (I hate the "jaggies," where a digital image has rough, squared and blurred edges due to a low dpi level).

 
2. Starting a commission for my Uncle Tom. He wants me to create an illustration for a poem that he wrote. It involves animals and that's not my usual cup of tea, but I am going to give it a go. :)

3. I was also intending on working on another commission. We'll see how that plays out...

4. Lastly, I really wanted to finish Chapter 6 of my Zootopia fanfic, "Forks." I have this bad habit of not finishing the stories that I start (which is why I'm so good at writing one-shot fanfics. ;) ), but I really want to finish this one at the very least. Especially as the majority of it is already written! People shouldn't have to suffer just because I couldn't get the in-between parts typed up and everything edited. *shrugs*

Wish me luck! The end of the week will be pretty busy, too, so I'll let you know how that went next Sunday. :)

See you all later!
