Routines, Processes and Procedures (Featuring Casper the Friendly Ghost)

I hope you enjoy these. Leave a comment if you do. If you do, maybe I'll send you a gift!

I've done more personally for myself in the ;last six months than I have in probably the last 25 years; besides drawing a cartoon almost everyday of 2023, I have written a blog energy everyday of 2024 and for the last 34 days I have started from zero on  an elliptical and am up to one hour a night, every night. What's the point of this post you ask? It's how I get all of this done. Let's get one thing straight first-I'm not under the illusion that I'm doing anything world changing or saving lives or making any real difference in the world.  I am making a difference in MY world. But the way I am able to do this routine, routine, routine. Processes and procedures. I have a plan for every day and night and I stick to this plan. No matter what I know I'm writing a blog entry at a certain time and I'm doing the elliptical at a certain time. It's worked so far for the last five months so let's hope it keeps up. The reason I talk about this is I hope to inspire just one person to maybe do the same. Nno the drawing or writing or elliptical but whatever makes a difference in your personal world. Want to learn how to cook? Play a musical instrument? Sing? Play a sport? Sew? Whatever it may be don't be scared to start but once you do-try to get a routine that you don't deviate from no matter what. Because that's what I have done so far and it has worked for me. I hope this helps. Good luck. 

The Artwork-Another one of those where I must have been in a hurry to get one drawn because of time restraints. This one, while quite simple, is still pretty cool and very well defined. It's casper!!!! He's a friendly ghost. I do remember it took me like 45 minutes to get the round shape of his head correct. His eyes, his mouth and eyebrows make him look really happy and innocent. This is another one (two days in a row) where the feet at a certain angle show how he's floating. I'm proud of this one. 

Day 35 of the elliptical-Day 18 (out of 60) of 60 minutes straight on the elliptical. I did all sixty minutes on setting four last night again!  I'm going to do setting four for a few more days then go up to setting five.
