Congrats! All valid reasons.

I do get the not having to do it every day thing. It is very tough. Do you have to do every single day? What about every other day if it's becoming too much?

Thanks! I know I’m more of a binge person (do a bunch at one time) than a little every day, but keep reading how daily practice is so helpful, which I do find to be true … kind of? Im not trying to develop a career skill, so mostly it’s me trying different things and figuring out what makes me happy. And trying to keep my SQUIRREL! Syndrome in check by not bouncing to some new cool thing. 🚫🐿️

My gut feel on every other day is it’s a muddy middle ground. Like try for every day with the occasional lapse (as in yesterday when we visited a friend in the hospital) or don’t do it.

I get a lot of joy out of monthly projects - 30 or 31 days of something, which gives me something to share every day. Whether I create those things every day or a bunch at a time in 9 days …. Seems like a silly thing to stress over now that I see it written out. 😅

Thanks for the comment. Got me a little clearer. 🫂

Haha I can understand the binge and also squirrel mentality 😂 I am more of a habit former. If I get in the habit of something its OK if I miss a day or two. But if I let it go for too long then I will probably stop for awhile. Which is OK! I try to tell myself 😅

I just want to be creative again. That's my own personal goal.

I try not to pressure myself into these things, then I just find no joy in it anymore.
