    A sculptor's journey towards the Fastlane

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Hi! This week didn't start very good but has turned out way better. I had a huge breakdown on Monday. I kinda exploded with some 7th graders that were being too noisy and yelled too loudly at them. That kinda snapped me to reality about the pressure I was sustaining for all these weeks. I...

    Only 10 mil. people speak my language. How can I serve millions??

    INTRO 
    I'm having similar issues here! My main language and the business customers I've been appealing to, is Catalan, spoken by 4-7 million people more or less in Spain, with an added political payload when producing cultural content. I also know Spanish and English, and I feel kind of a multiple...

    Why are many people "bullies" or abusive and not good? Theory

    PEOPLE 
    I'm a high school teacher and have been working with kids for several years. There's a lot of research on this topic, therapies to help reconcile bullies and bullied people, etc. Usually in kids and teens the bullying behaviour comes from a deep feeling of envy and resentment towards everyone...

    Hi! I've been some weeks without posting so here I am. Got my first salary payment last week. About 2200€ (I won't be paying taxes this year due to low income, next year it'll be 1900€/month. The salary is much better than the average in Spain, which is about 1100-1300 a month. I thought that...

    Hi! 45 hours of work this week. Things got a VERY unexpected turn. I'm now deeply submerged in the SLOWLANE!. I was called last Tuesday, to start as a full-time art teacher in a public high school 30 min away from home. Somebody had to give the school good references of me, because there were...

    Hi! Not much to say this week. Really nothing remarkable happened. Kinda took this week for myself to rest a bit after the pressure and axiety from last weeks. No anxiety at all, but constant headache most of the days. Guess you can't have everything. Basically been sculpting a piece for my...

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Hi! This week went much better. The therapy session went much better and was really useful; After several weeks I was finally able to feel grateful for who I am and what I do. It was less about visualizing and more about getting things out of my chest, especially about feelings of envy and...

    Launching a kickstarter soon, I want your opinions and comments

    EXECUTION 
    Hi! I ran a Kickstarter campaign a year ago. One of the things that surprised me the most is how half of my backers found my campaign through KS page. I was building my audience on FB and planning to lead it towards Kickstarter, and many backers came from browsing the "promoted by Kickstarter"...

    Hi! 28h worked this week. Another very bad one mentally, but at least I'm trying to fix it and doing as much as I can. I keep on having anxiety attacks since early in the morning (they start after getting dressed, just before beginning work, and last non-stop until I go to sleep). Monday was...

    Hi! Not a very good week overall, actually one of the worst ones. Not much to say. On Tuesday (my birthday) I spent most of the day replying to bithrday wishes and catching up with some old friends, which was a bit too much for me. On Thursday and Friday I got my longest anxiety attack ever...

    Thank you very much for the reply! I genuinely appreciate it, I thought the lack of replies for almost a year was bc the thread wasn't useful for anyone, or even that it added negative value to the forum (somebody whining about lack of effort and recurrent depressive thoughts month after month...

    Hi, just 25 hours of work this week. A couple day-long mental breakdowns, a day spent away, and the bad decision to rearrange my workspace in a way that didn't work out and had to be undone, took me half of the week. On the rest of it, I started a new sculpture for the IG reels, worked on...

    Hi! 31 hours worked this week, but really 22 (spent a day and a half fixing a tool that I could have bought again for 6$, I kinda obsessed with that so mismanaged time. I made a task list for the week (it worked really good 2 weeks ago) with about 40 tasks of which I did 20. The problem was...

    Hi! 30 hours this week. The 500$ from the dragon painting gig have finally been collected (after a LOT more drama from the clients' part). Anyway. So that being finished I've also started producing some content. I did a couple digital furry character illustrations (I plan to start making...

    Hi! 24 hours worked this week. Easily the week I've felt most lonely and miserable of all the year, plus some strong anxiety, obsessive thoughts, headaches and other related physical pain that prevented me from working for 2-3 full days. At least I haven't been slacking like the previous ones...

    Hi! Another non-productive week (worked 23,5h). I was exhausted and had strong migraines from not sleeping half of the week, and wasted the other half on dating apps and instagram. On the good side, had a lot of meaningful connections in those dating apps, went on my first actual date since...
