I don’t have much trouble budgeting time, but I do find it much more satisfying to finish several small miniatures than to paint something large over a longer time. I’m glad your meds are working for you, and you can have an easier time with everything!
I’m the same with painting minis - one or two days a week. And yes, my pile of shame opportunity grows faster than I can diminish it. Every once in a while I decide to not buy any more figures until I’ve reduced it to some point. I think it’s time for that again - no new figures starting from August until Christmas.
Looking forward to seeing what you post!
Yeah work sucks for 10 hours a day
The pleasure of a newly painted miniature, the bliss of hiking a new trail, the exhilaration of biking further and faster than I did before, finding new places and things to photograph.
These 2 things drew my eye, as I work 8 hours a day and I also paint minis. I often feel like I don’t have enough time to do all the things I want to do. How much mini painting do you do given that you also hike, bike, and photograph? In addition to mini painting I also read, bike (city biking), and play video games.
I never feel like I spend enough time doing my hobbies and I don’t even have kids or other major obligations outside of work. I suppose I should count my blessings as I really enjoy my job.
PS: I’d love to see some of your minis, maybe you can post some on [email protected] or [email protected] or something?
If you have the means to improve your mental health, do what you can. Anecdotally, my meds have changed my life for the last few months, and the people around me have noticed it too. I was surprised to find enjoyment in small things, everything wasn’t a drag anymore.
This was basically me the day after I started: https://i.imgur.com/3I34dpW.jpg
Sorry for hijacking your comment, it’s the first one that popped up for me when I opened this thread.
If you’re just discovering this post, trust me, it’s not worth reading. The comments are 50% nazis and 50% morons. There is no discourse ahead, only name calling, denouncing, whataboutism, and some really fucked up thoughts and people. You don’t need this in your day. You already know that nazis are bad, and nazis aren’t the only bad people. Go to illegallysmolcats instead
As someone who has fucked up similarly before in a different context, both of those things happened. I got put in my place, we agreed I was going to adjust my attitude, ate my warning, and the outward conversation was that the problem was resolved and we’d work on being better in the future.
