Freelance Freedom #137


FF137_NewYearMotivation

PG

N.C. Winters is always drawing. When he isn't making comics, doodling or working as a freelance graphic artist, he spends his time painting pretty pictures for galleries from his home studio in sunny southern California.



  1. PG Ignacio Segura

    Oh, crap, I feel EXACTLY like this.

  2. PG Sherman

    that is sooooo true

    somebody, kick me to get started

  3. PG Oasis Creative

    Heh.. no doubt. I’ll even comment on this to put off working a few more minutes.

  4. PG Chris Dowson

    Welcome to my Monday….

  5. PG Jarryd

    Tell me about it.

  6. PG Jason Stanley

    Exactly how I felt this morning.

  7. PG Chris

    Perfect fit for today(!) personally, I stalled and just went back for more coffee.

  8. PG Matthew Egan

    I don’t know… I got up on time. I filled out my little “This is what I should accomplish today” sheet, and THEN I started to procrastinate. That puts me what… one or two levels above this… right?

  9. PG Allena

    Looks…so…familiar. Where have I seen th–? Ohhh oh, shhoooot that’s me.

  10. PG MathieuB

    Yep, tell me about it. This qualifies as one of the worst Mondays ever hahaha.

  11. PG Kevin M. Scarbrough

    Glad to know I’m not the only one working in pajamas today.

    1. PG danhoward

      glad to know i’m not the only one struggling to work today!!!

  12. PG Paige

    Yep. The only thing worse than a case of the Mondays is a case of the post-holiday Mondays.

    Oy.

  13. PG Rick

    LOL that is EXACTLY how I am feeling…..

  14. PG fwolf

    Ah yes .. I’ve solved this problem yesterday by staying up late and consuming lotsa energy drinks :D

    cu, w0lf.

    1. PG fwolf

      … and of course getting the work done which should have already been done during Saturday :D

      cu, w0lf.

  15. PG Derek Mantz Design

    Exactly!

  16. PG Adam

    Definitely rough trying to get back to the normal schedule.

  17. PG Mosotomoss

    This is a wonderful monday for me. 2010 will be great!

  18. PG Mauricio

    haha! im on that exact situation right now. haha!

  19. PG Robin Bastien

    Haha yep, N.C Winters once again emulates how I feel today. I did some ‘warm up’ work last night but today being the first day the clients are working again too has my inbox flooded with new messages.

    Goodbye holidays, hello redbull

  20. PG Gregor Colnik

    haha, i just blame the massive hangover :D

  21. PG Crystal

    Ha, I just tried to get back into the work-day rhythm yesterday, and it pretty much turned out like this. I didn’t start until about 2pm, but I did get a bit of work done…

    Today’s the tricky day though. I can’t use ‘but it’s still the weekend’ as an excuse again today!

  22. PG Arthur

    Any moment now the excess blood in my caffeine system will be reduced to its normal fraction and work will commence.

  23. PG Ali Hale

    Glad it’s not just me…! I think getting back into the swing of things inevitably takes a bit of time — there’s not just the mental adjustment to make, there’s also potentially a backlog of work, not to mention a backlog of household tasks. (We’ve been away for most of the Christmas/New Year period; I did four loads of laundry this morning, around trying to work!)

  24. PG Roberto

    I know the feeling.

  25. Am I going to get ousted by saying I’m looking forward to my first client mtg of the year tomorrow :)

  26. PG Damir

    You have to just “do it”.

    Here’s a motivational video to help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoqDYcCDOTg&feature=related

  27. PG Benny

    lol good one! :D
    This was like me the whole December. Now I’m back with more energy. I have a new habit… wake up at 7am everyday and start working early. I feel great when I wake up early. I can take it easy the first hour or so and start early, or do some exercise.

    Good luck people! Indeed, just “do it”. But give it some time. :P

  28. PG Gerasimos

    Could you please be quiet? We are trying to sleep here. :P

  29. PG Agustin

    There should be a procrastination day!
    the first day after the holidays, or even better the second

  30. PG Mirella Klas

    Common every one LETS KICK IT!!! this year.
    even if u are still in your pj’s on tuesday.
    who cares as long as u get a cup of coffee or like me a coca cola.

    just like nike says

    JUST DO IT.

    as long as the job gets done hahaha

    my workday started on the 1sth where i would think people where stil trying to get sober or wake up or wait for their prayers to get answered.
    I got my first phone call for work!
    so yeah does monday count for us designers ?

  31. PG DennisBB

    I liked it

  32. PG Pier2Design

    Good gosh, that feeling is why I’m reading this comic at the moment!

  33. PG Anne Bingham

    {frantically searches office for hidden webcam}

  34. PG Aaron Moody

    I feel….EXACTLY, like this :(

  35. PG Anna

    Yep…

    I bought myself a new laptop for Christmas, and have been taking my sweet time to get to know it and introduce it to all the software. They have to get to know each other a little better before I start making them work.

    Yep…

    Oh. Is that an email from a client?

  36. PG Nathan J. Brauer

    This is SO me for the last 3 days!

  37. PG canvas paintings

    yep,

    I’m just going to start that new canvas painting for a customer,

    here I go…

    yep….
