Back before I was made part-time, my schedule was pretty consistent. I would get up, read, go to work, develop ideas, draw them and then go home. Some days I’d also speak and do other work in the community. But for the most part, it was consistent.
That got blown up with my career. Today, I never know what the day will bring. I’m still doing six cartoons a week for the C-L (which is a full-time job in its own right). But I’m also traveling, speaking, drawing and still trying to be a full-time dad. It’s stretching this unorganized, right-brained guy all over the place.
I once prayed to become more organized. Well, sometimes God doesn’t directly grant your wish — He gives you the opportunity to learn what you prayed for. That’s the case here. I’m going to succeed wildly. But I had better get my stuff together. I need to become way more productive. Things are falling between the cracks.
I have the talent. Now I have to manage that talent.
So it begins today. Change isn’t easy. But I have a lot things riding on my changing. I’m motivated. And that’s #2 on today’s to-do list.
