Last few days...
Ack! It's Thursday already! I've completed most of my goals for the week, so yay!
I'm feeling pretty happy with Tisquantum -- I'm learning stuff (Drawing each person on a different layer makes it SO much easier to re-position them relative to each other! Layer of black stuff at low opacity = provides instant contrast to a panel! Planning action shots involves drawing lots of snippets of action and then picking which ones look good together!). But now I need to stop and do some other stuff.
Unfortunately, the "other stuff" is brain-intensive in other ways, and so I've been procrastinating on starting.
But, since I'm super-good at procrastinating, I know how to get out of my procrastination funk:
1) Acceptance: I want to procrastinate because I've been working so hard on various things this break. So I allowed myself some well-deserved chillaxing this morning.
2) Redirection: One reason I'm procrastinating is because the new task is hard, so I fueled my procrastination energies into posting an update to![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)

3) Dissection: take the larger task and break it into smaller chunks. Which is the following:
- Grade Mandarin 1 Projects: easy, but I don't want to think about it until after doing the hard stuff
- Lay out the rationale for the Mandarin 1 semesters: Hard, I'm about halfway through.
- Lay out the units and format that I want to cover for the remaining year: Hard
- Fill out and format the content for the next lessons: Okay, can do when watching TV.
If I can get the 2 hard things done by dinner time, then after dinner I can watch CSI Miami on Netflix while doing some of the other stuff. Wish me luck!
