Day 138

'If I had a Hammer', Pen and Watercolour on Paper

I have always had a fondness for building things which probably comes from helping my dad with projects around the house when I was younger and also from working on a few jobs with him whilst he was a bricklayer. There's is just something that I find ultimately rewarding about making something that's useful with my own two hands from scratch. So in the past few years there have been a few projects that I have started or considered starting that I've never really gotten round to completing, always citing a lack of time for my inability to make any real headway. After deciding to carry out the 365 draws project it has given me a slightly different perspective, that being it is not that I don't have any time in which to carry out these tasks it's more that I dedicate that time to banal and unimportant things. Whilst I know have something important to do with my extra time in terms of my drawing a day challenge, I still believe that there is more time that I can utilise that is being wasted on other things to finally complete that which I've all ready begun and begin that which hasn't left the page yet. All it really comes down to is a more effective management of my time and setting myself a time-frame and a target that I want to reach. As with anything that we choose to do what is most likely to hold us back is ourself and our ability to discover new ways to avoid that which is most pertinent, that which we should actually be doing. It's down to us to be more proactive and more organised otherwise we can never move forward and instead are left wanting.
