Hobby Streak Done – The Conclusion
It happened, or rather did not happen, yesterday I missed a hobby session. Thus my first #hobbystreak is broken after 74 days. I must say I am a little relieved to be free of the obligation. At the same time I am also really pleased with the productivity boost that attempting a hobby streak achieved for me. In the picture you can see all that models that I brought to completion over that time. Not shown are all the the many projects advanced but not completed.
To list the projects completed in my streak:
- Tau Devilfish
- Tau Commander & marker drones
- Imperial Guard Steel Legion infantry 10 man squad
- 5 Ork Goff Nobz
- 1 Eldar Warlock
- 1 Eldar War Walker + magnetised weapons
- 1 oldhammer Eldar Wraithlord
- 11 Eldar Striking Scorpions including exarch
- 5 Eldar Dire Avengers including exarch
- 5 Eldar Fire Dragons
The eldar did the best out of my streak but they were the army for which I had the most unpainted models. I still have loads unpainted though. In fact all my projects still have more unpainted than painted. My streak did not even improve the balance since during the streak I bought far more than I painted. Sigh. Let us not be negative though. Doing the hobby streak did motivate me to get lots done that I otherwise probably would not have done. I am glad I did it and it did help me advance my projects.
That said I am not going to rush into starting another streak. I will take a break from that particular productivity hack to try some others. I feel like exploring hobby challenges next. #hobbychallenge ? Something like paint a squad in one session. Or paint for 24 hours straight and see what I can get done.
Anyway if you are considering whether to try a #hobbystreak or not to chase away your grey then why not read my little article about it here?
