I used to be able to draw for 10 consecutive hours a day and slowly It became less and less, now I can barely draw 10 minutes before having to stop and scroll fucking social medias and it's ruining my Life, how do you stay consistent.I Will ditch my phone yes
ditch everything dude, just like jump off a cliff man.
>>8079845I use browser add-ons like Leech Block myself. I only use it to block youtube during 'work hours', as that's my problem area.That said, recently I've been only doing traditional drawing with pencil and paper, and to do so (since I only have a small computer desk) I use a wooden board that's propped up between me and my desk. I've found that this inconvenient set-up that's a bit of a hassle to put and put down, actually helps me focus better, because what? Am I going to slowly put down this big lap board just to browse the internet for a moment?Assuming you're working digitally, I'm not sure what a good equivalent would be to having a big fucking wooden board on your lap would be, but having a system that's a hassle to set up and exit from could be useful in making yourself more productive.
Listen to good songs as you do it/to get inspired.Here's one I forgot to listen to that might do the trickhttps://youtu.be/9OfoTaLXrUo?si=e1ituo_s9099ZfWd
>>8079845have you considered that maybe it isn't an attention span issue, but that you have programmed yourself to see drawing as a 10-hour chore and now can't enjoy the process?i have, in the past, stayed up overnight to draw multiple times and while i still like to draw, i just can't make myself do that anymore.
>>8079952if Lionel Richie farted, but it made a beautiful tune. would you smell it?
I have a similar problem but in a different field. I know I'm exhausted because I've been working on the same thing for free for months and I can't go on like this, and that's why any kind of distraction is a liberation for me. The solution is to take a break, a proper rest and see whether your life is messy (like mine) or not
>>8079845>I Will ditch my phone yesnone of that shit works. its just a bunch of ideas sold by morons in order to "get your focus back" and "dopamine detox," no you wont become a great artist by getting rid of the phone or doing nofap. just try to get some more fresh air and clean up diet/sleep
>>8080092Wow that's like the story of my life. You know it's bad when you say "another field" instead of specifying, it's damage control mode.
>>8080095Ditching the phone really helps though
>>8080096Yeah I spent many years on it and put lots of work instead of just working some job at cafe and getting paid for it instead of pursuing my passions and dreams that seems to be dimmer and dimmer by the day (:
>>8080098I was full hardcore mode when I didn't have a phone but a dumb phone and my browser was limited. I'd reach the point when I'd goon once a week to my imagination at most, my peak "degeneracy". It doesn't mean much, if your mental and/or physical state is bad, you just can't be productive
>>8079845>scroll fucking social mediasWhat a fucking imbecile holy shit hahahahahah
