Organise my life into neat little time brackets:

Things I have done this year that meets the learning outcomes:
- Had a stall at Thought Bubble + other art markets.
- Specific artist research that informs my practice and where I want to be.
- Updated website and branding
- Learnt how to invoice and push clients to pay me.
- Did Live Art + Projections which meant experimenting with new media and building a presence in Leeds.

Things I need to do by June:
- Update website again with work as completed and fully update my branding.
- Refine and hone my practice appropriate for tattooing which will create a solid ground for when I leave.
- Put together my professional illustration portfolio and a portfolio/flash book for tattooing.
- Complete competition briefs and process driven briefs appropriate for my professional portfolio.
- Feel a bit proud and be more confident in my work.

Things I want to achieve at the end of 2017 (one year out of my degree):
- Have completed the 1st year of my apprenticeship.
- Don't contract any blood-borne viruses (through learning about cross-contamination and clinical waste)
- Don't starve (Have a sustainable income)
- Be able to move out of home only when it's viable to keep my car (and I have a sustainable income)
- Continue my illustrative practice outside of tattooing through freelance work and self-directed products (through Etsy or something similar, which will also support my income)

Things I want to achieve in five years time:
- Be a fully qualified tattooist.
- Travel Europe as a guest artist in tattoo parlours.
- Be self-sufficient enough to own my horse.
- Have enough free time to dedicate at least one morning per week to a sanctuary.
- Continue illustrative practice (as above) and through my branding as a tattoo artist.

Problems and worries:
- Money.
- Not keeping up my practice and loosing momentum.
- Having to work so much to support myself (i.e. in a bar) that I don't have enough time to be a creative.
- Relying too much on one opportunity (i.e. apprenticeship) that could fall through.
- Trying and failing, and falling flat on my arse.
- Ending up in debt.
