Three Hour Workday Challenge: Day 5

Waking up at 5 am every morning is not impossible! I see that now! Day 5 of waking up at 5 am and dedicating at least 3 hours to working on art. Every day it feels like it’s getting easier. This morning, I had that feeling again of not wanting to stay in bed because
