88 – STUDYING AND FINDING FOCUS & BALANCE THANKS TO VIDEO GAMES

Who would have thought playing Video Games would result in better Focus, Balance, and Discipline?

That is what’s happened though; I talk about the past week of Studying on this episode, and how having one day dedicated to playing Video Games seems to be helping me find Balance, and Focus.

I also talk about SVSLearn.com, Studying Fabric Folds, and various Distractions … this one’s also got a bit of a Christmasy vibe to it :)

Hope you find it interesting.

77 – KEEP GOING BY AUSTIN KLEON BOOK REVIEW

77 – KEEP GOING BY AUSTIN KLEON BOOK REVIEW

In this one I cover the third and final Playful lil Austin Kleon Art Book called, Keep Going by Austin Kleon. Just like the previous two books, this one’s incredible; So Inspiring, Motivating and Fun. Each book is amazing on it’s own, but put them all together and you have a family of three lil beauties. The bright blue cover of Keep Going is nice and Simple, but very Sexy, just like every single page of the book. If you’ve struggled with staying Motivated, Enjoying the Creative Process, or even Keeping a Balanced Life … this book has tons of Fun, Practical Advice and Exercises on how to keep going. Hope you love this one as much as I do :)

28 – SLEEP IS KEY

28 – SLEEP IS KEY

This lil episode is for us sleepyheads out there :) Due to some unforeseen circumstances, I had to sacrifice my sleep this week … not cool. It’s been interesting though, seeing how sleep is key to everything. This weeks lil Art Tip is more of a mental one, about how never to assume when learning anything to do with Art, and that’s pretty much it for this one. Hope you like it, I’m gonna to go sleep now :)
