I've been working on a version of tracking my work using a spreadsheet divided up into the steps for each page (roughs, letters, pencils, etc.). When I finish a step, I get to fill in a box with the date so I can appreciate how many days it took me to get here. I also get to see how much closer I get to the end goal as the chart gets filled in. Sometimes, it really is just whatever it takes to keep going. It's also better than just tracking finished pages because you get the full process picture. Thank you for your insights this week!
I’m all analog, so my best friend is a date stamp. There’s nothing so satisfying as twiddling the dial to the right date and STAMPING it “complete.” And seeing it fill in over time…
Isn’t it funny how big an impact such a small thing can have on our motivation?!
