If you're a deskfag you need to excercise something like 3 hours a week to fight the shitty diet and poor posture your job forces you into. Half your depression and brain fog are just caused by you just sitting all day and eating goyslop.
You don't have to go hard, you can just ride a bike for a bit or join some yoga club but just doing that will already make you feel like there's an extra hour every day.

If you're blue collar and actually lift shit for a living just eat more vegetables.

Drawing is your reward for completing your day. I worked for 10 years and would draw after work for 3-4 hours a day 3-4 days a week. I was a machine. Nothing could stop me.

But I retired, and now I have kids and they drained all my stamina to draw. Im hanging on by threads. Sometimes i need months to recover enough energy to draw. I feel blessed when the stars align and i can draw. If anyone has tips on finding time to draw as a stay at home parent let me know. These have been some dark years.

>i have seen improvement and i have been drawing every day but ive definitely run into weeks where im floundering because i dont know what even to focus on
You're doing better than even most unemployed artists. You can be proud of that.
As to how I work up the energy: It's the same as vidya was after school. It's what I want to do when I'm at work, it's what I look forward to. So unless it has been an unusually exhausting day at work, I will be fired up to draw.
One additional tip if you're like me though: Don't take time after work to "recover". Eat something if you're hungry, but sitting down and taking a break saying "I'll draw later" will not make you draw. Even worse if start doing something else. Keep that ball of productivity from work rolling and jump into drawing as soon as you can.
>t. draws daily after work, regularely for 4+ hours

I am a 12 hr weekend shifter, so i have four days of free time

I just have to give up three days to some soul crushing, mindless factory work

What a pathetic excuse

Do intentional targeted study while on your lunch break or during a commute if you're taking the bus/train/taxi. It doesn't matter if it's five minutes, ten minutes, etc. Just do it and be consistent.

Then when you're home, draw something for fun.

If you feel like you consistently lack energy, you may be missing something vital in your diet. Load up on leafy green vegetables, nuts and seeds, berries, milk, eggs, dried fruit, fish, and seaweed. Do not skimp out on magnesium and B12 and Iron. Take a potassium supplement with some Vitamin D3 before you go to bed.

*magnesium supplement

Also buy a red light nightlight and eat some kiwi before bed for better sleep quality.
