Victor's Productivity Training Arc for Artists

Kickstart your productivity journey! An introduction to Victor's Training Arc principles, setting the stage for enhanced focus and creative output.

Identify when you're spending too much time on a single detail or aspect of your artwork. When you feel stuck, it's time to 'Move On'.

“Move on is kind of a reflex or let's say it's kind of a reaction I try to have as often as possible when I feel like I'm overworking something”

Don't get discouraged by imperfections in your artwork. Instead, use the 'Again' mindset to create a new version, applying what you've learned.

“This means to just make another one let's say you're making studies color studies or sketches or like anything you start you get going and um if you implement these reflexes like to to think move on and again in Rapid succession throughout your process you're just going to make not even kidding 10 times more sketches 10 times more studies and you're going to learn a lot more”

Turn off all notifications on your phone, computer, and tablet before starting a focused art session.

“Having notifications made students three times or something like that less efficient than another group which was literally stoned while taking the test”

Choose a location that is primarily used for art and free from common distractions. Maintain it regularly.

“Having a specific place where you do your focused work.”

Postpone enjoyable activities until *after* completing your art tasks. Use the art session as a reward.

“Avoid Pleasant activities right before important work binge watching content right before that for example”

Gather all reference materials needed for your art tasks the evening before. Organize them in a readily accessible location.

“Prepare what you're going to do the next day the evening before”
