There are so many things I would like to do and learn. Too bad time always seems to be my biggest enemy. There are times when I wish a day should consist of at least 56 hours; 8 hours for normal workload (where I get my salary paid and stuff); 8 for sleeping (Because recently I got only 3-4 hours a day of full sleep); 8 for self relaxation (I got 4 different games consoles which I haven’t turn any of them on for the last 2 months); 4 for being a social animal ; 4 for regular activities (Such as eating, walking, transportation, etc); 4 for exercising; 4 for regular reading (This reading’s limited to comics, novels, and magazine—not including learning technical stuff or art techniques); and 16 for learning new things.

The reason is because I feel like once you have graduated and started working full-time, you will realize that you have less and less time to improve yourself. Of course, your work will probably improve over time as you will be more skilled at what you do. But will you learn something radically different from what you already know? Probably not! This is truly a sad thing.

Let’s get back to reality….This is how I really spend me day:

9 hours working as a project manager
4 hours sleeping time
3 hours for daily transportation.
3 hours for eating; breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack
1.5 hours for learning new things
1.5 hour for reading novel, comic, magazine, news
1 hour for social activities; chatting, MSNing, ICQing
<1 hour for sport and exercise

Basically with the current configuration, my brain won’t improve much since I can learn only 1.5 hours a day (6.25% of 24 hours). Within 1.5 hours time slot, I wish to learn so many things such as ZBrush (a 3D program which supposed to be great at doing organic modeling), English language improvement, Traditional Drawing, and Digital Painting.

Examples of what I’ve learned and tried recently:
