So! Earlier I said I wanted to build up a buffer<\/a> for “Drawing Every Day<\/a>“, but that complicated formula “30(m + 1) + d + 2” – a month and a couple of days ahead, computed by adding 1 to the month, multiplying by 30, adding the days, and adding 2 – neither “felt right” nor left me feeling secure in my “aheadness”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had planned to work on my backlog from 2024 when additional 2025 drawings would have taken me over the magic number “30(m + 1) + d + 2”, but it didn’t feel right, and the work I had to do to catch up when I missed a day bothered me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I realized I shouldn’t be shooting for a month and a couple days ahead … it should be more like a week. “30(m +1) + d + 7” (or “+ w”) would give me a whole week to catch up. In fact, if I pushed it a bit further – getting a month, a week, and a day ahead – then even if I missed a day, I’d be a week ahead. Even if I missed a WEEK, I’d be a MONTH ahead. And if I missed a month … I’d still have a week and a day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you get behind with that much buffer, it’s all on you, baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like this. A month, a week, and a day is easy to remember – and easy to compute, even though “30(m +1) + d + 7 +1” looks just as complicated as it was before, it’s cognitively easier to process because it’s all broken up into a sequence of simple operations that are easy to remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, next up … blogging ahead! Let’s start with just +1 … this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
