I wonder why we can't bring it into other parts of life.

Becouse is genuine difficult. I find it hard to focus on one thing. Now I always try to have few projects open and I would just jump form one to another - not only to keep myself busy, but to simply not get bored:)

The drawings look really good to me :)

Thank you very much!

The one time you'll get a single emoji from me: 🤢

I cannot multi task or work on concurrent projects at once. I tend to do "milestones" for each thing I work on, and work on only that until that milestone is done, then if I'm feeling good, I'll keep going on that project or task until it is done.

Unless I get bored, abandon it, and then literally roll a dice on what to do next.

I am not really found of emojis either :D

Multitasking is one of the dumbest terms in corporate newspeak. I hate that term.

It is one thing to work on projects in rotation so as not to get bored with them, especially if they are of a completely different nature (1-drawing, 2 -leatherwork 2-writing emails, 3-designing in Illustrator, etc) and quite another to work with 3 different clients and do a little bit for each of them every day so that everything 'moves forward simultaneously'.
Nonsense.
Maybe everything is moving, but it is moving in the sluggish way possible :D

When I was still working from an office and had direct contact with clients - I had to work this way - it was mentally draining. 20 unfinished projects hanging over my head.... Disaster.

Definitely! I think that's a great way to keep the flow going and not come to a standstill for boredom to enter. Sometimes, I find focusing on two to three things and switching between them as the way to get work done in the least amount of time.

You're most welcome :)

Same here. I am not saying, that being the most efficient is the way to live, but better have your job out of the way as soon as possible, so you can focus on important things:)

It's interesting how our job is not considered as amongst the important things :)
I try eating the frog first(most difficult and often boring task) on most days!

It's depends on the job, surely.

When your hobby become your job - it is either the best or the worst thing that can happen to you. I wish the first option for you of course!

Same. When I tackle the worst parts - then my mind and body relax, and everything just flows:)

Well, I hope to go through the worst thing first before transitioning into the best thing.

I think working(on the outside) but also not working(on the inside) is a wonderful experience to have in regards to one's occupation or career.
