Update: Plan for August (Patreon)

So I have been thinking about how to write this post, and despite giving it a lot of thought, I still have no idea how to write it, so... basically, I'm going to just do what I normally do and just take it one step at a time!! ^^;;

Anyway, so this month is going to be somewhat of a different approach for me. Previously, I had what I needed to get done for the month, and made a weekly checklist.
Unfortunately for me, that kinda locks tasks in place, where my heart might not be in it, and I would rather work on something else. In addition, any time I had a day where I didn't have to go into work, I would still try to work on comics/Patreon stuff/etc., rather than taking a day to chill. This, I believe, has had some additional negative consequences where I would become easily distracted, due to lack of maintained focus, due to lack of any real break.

So this is what is happening for me:

• I have a checklist of my usual obligations (comics, Patreon rewards). There is no deadline, apart from just having them all done before the end of the month.
  The order in which they are done is not important anymore, nor will any of them have to be done by a certain day (except the last of the month).
• Where I wrote up my tasks to complete for the week prior to this month, I now just have an additional list of additional tasks to get done for that month. This includes any potential updates and commissions, if there are any.
• Every day I don't work at the pizzeria is my day off from everything. I am making sure I give myself that mandatory break to unwind so I can return to everything fresh.
• I am going to try to make sure that the time it takes for me to complete all monthly tasks for Patreon and my Comics is shorter in duration, total.
  Patreon does not give me enough income per month to justify spending as much time as I do on it. This is the reason I have changed the way I am doing things - to use the time wisely, and to make my tasks work around me, not try to make myself work around my tasks.

This is what is happening for you:

• For this month, Tarri's Day may be a little sketchy on the schedule side of things. I want to get to a point where I have a whole batch of comics ready for the month ahead, which is not what has happened as of yet.
  There will be none today, but I hope to have one up for next Monday - and following that, a regular schedule again.
• Tarri's Day Adventures will have to be dialed back - comics take time. I hope to have a full page complete each month (half page every 2 weeks).
  If I end up with more patrons in the future, I will be able to justify the time to create more per month, however my income levels are basically not there, yet.
• I'm going to update visuals on the Patreon page. The header, post banners (such as the fairy), will be updated.
• This month's livestream format will be different this month - for now, it will not be the new format from this month onward, just a trial to see how it works.
  I will explain in a bit more detail in a later post.
• The commissions currently in place are slated to be started today. As time zones are a thing, I am likely to start two today, rather than just do them one at a time (given the first commissioner may be asleep or something).
• I may set up additional polls asking your thoughts on certain aspects of my Patreon page, including past elements. :3

I think that is all for now...
But yeah, basically, this month is a trial in itself to try to get things running smoother.
Bear with me!! :3
