I hear a lot of chatter in the community about how some of you are struggling to “keep up” with prompts. This challenge isn’t about never missing a single day/prompt. I promise you, it’s gonna happen. It’s more important that you keep coming back, even if it’s been days, weeks, or even months. Don’t let your misses define your progress. The days you show up are FAR more important than the days you miss. 

I’ve talked about this since week one, but as we take on our first “plus” this week (yay!), it’s critical to plan for tomorrow’s prompt. This will also help you in showing up everyday. The point isn’t to add more work to your day, but distributing the work differently: across two days. Today, after you finish drawing Sunday’s prompt, take a look on Monday’s prompt. Take about 5 minutes to sketch out an initial idea, and then put your iPad/sketchbook away. You don’t have to commit to this first idea, but I promise this exercise will help you as you start out the next day. You’ll have the benefits of not having to start from scratch, as well as letting the idea ruminate in your head all day.
