To do lists, goals, strategic planning, and my "stuck" list.
Fear-based decisions usually end badly.

Why art? Why now?
(why does my art deserve to exist?)
(do you work better with people? on your own?)
Do we all agree on the definition of happiness?
(flow) (no expectations)
(don't compare yourself to others)
How do we keep ourselves challenged?
(Creativity comes from trust. Trust your instincts
and never hope more than you work.) - Rita Mae Brown
My stuck list
1. get AWAY from the internet. Away...
2. Take the pressure off of the imagination
A little bit of pleasure... then a little bit more...
3. Have you checked/made your to-do list for today?
4. Suck it up and just clean up after yourself.
5. Some of your best work comes from wasting time artistically!
6. Make food for the next 2 days
7. Call a friend to hang out (use it as an excuse to dress up)
8. Go somewhere via your bike
9. Write a thank you / a note reminding a friend that it has come to your attention that a mutual forgetfulness about the friendship has occurred and can and needs to be corrected.
10. Go 100% in the wrong direction, hit bottom
11. Caffeine

Sell your art in galleries
(And also, be able to deal with uncertainty.)
How to not lose money when you sell your art:
With a gallery? Price X 2
In New York? Price X 2 X 3
