Day 2 Of Delusional Optimist's 48 Day Mission To Europe

Day 2… 47 Days To Go

Yesterday I mostly completed all six of my goals but only posted one post on each Instagram account. It’s so easy to tell yourself that it isn’t necessary but every single thing we do to work towards our goals will get us closer… even if it’s just an Instagram post. I’ll do better today! I had not been drinking enough water lately so that surprisingly felt like the biggest win. I accomplished this productive day using the 90 minute work block system I borrowed from Chase Jarvis. The Instagramming and my blog post were completed within two 90 minute work blocks and the other four work blocks all were spent gluing tiny pieces of water to my 3D aquarium collage. When you wake up and make your own schedule every day, structure is key. See below for my crude system that works… I started this board to keep track of all my personal projects on January 21 and currently am in the 224th 90 minute work block. I do not factor in the many, many hours of walking and taking photos or any of the social media stuff I do on tour. Like the FREE Duolingo app for learning new languages, it's truly on some Mary Poppins ish because it made my "work" into a game.

Today is already looking to be even more productive because I woke up earlier and Art Walk days inspire me more than most to get my shit together. This week, the London Street Artist D*Face has been in Seattle painting murals and prepping Treason Gallery for his art show that starts today. Since I once made a video for @TheRingOfDOOM in Las Vegas that invents the sad love story of the characters in his murals, I could not have been happier to see the lovers reunited on the streets of my very own city. Curious to know if he has seen my ridiculous YouTube video (very unlikely at 57 views) but I do feel a Part Deux coming on. Looking forward to checking out D*Face’s show at Treason Gallery tonight as well as Shohei Otomo’s show at Statix and then coming right back here to make stuff so I can be in their shoes someday.
