A Reflection on a Few of my Many Flaws

During this past two years, I have come to notice a few things about myself that I would rather change, but I am struggling to. Possibly the biggest, and most frustrating thing looking back is my crippling inability to get my work done in timely manner, before the last minute. This is something that I have been trying to change, but I keep making the same mistakes over and over, which is unhelpful, as I get caught in a loop of making something, thinking it's terrible, and then deleting it. I really do hope to change this before the third year rolls around, as I feel like it could cause some costly mess ups if I do not. Another thing that I noticed is that when I start doing something as work, it usually becomes less fun for me, and so I basically stopped drawing in my spare time as a way to relax, and saw it more as work. This is absolutely something I want to change, and I have been trying to do so recently. This is probably the main thing I am going to try and work on during the summer, as I will have a long period in which I will be able to advance my skills in producing animation and illustration in my own time, which is something I cannot afford to waste. The final thing that I noticed about myself is that I have a very 'that'll do' attitude to work, which is very, very unhelpful for me, as it usually means my work is of just good enough to pass, and that's it.

With these negative traits down on this blog, I hope it will encourage me to change them, as I feel like it will be more achievable if they are written down instead of just floating around in my head.
