As someone who can go weeks or months without picking up a brush, this is a big step for me. Many years ago I knocked out two AWI armies by painting at least 5 hours per week, but I had a lot less responsibility then. I started after Christmas, so this is week #2 for me. |

That's a good goal to get you started. |

Good for you. I started trying to paint an hour a night, usually get 4 or 5 in. I used to dread painting, now I find it relaxing. |

Thanks 79thPA! You have inspired me to do the same! |

3 hours a week should really put a dent in the lead pile over time. Keep it up! |

When I had a very busy corporate job, my paint time was 15 minutes most nights, before I went to sleep. It got things done and helped me unwind. |

Good plan – I might be able to negotiate a regular 30minutes or an hour per week, goodness knows I need to do something about my backlog of figures. It'd be great to have a "protected" painting slot in the week! |

I can get some done when the kids are all in bed so I start after 9pm. Usually it's pick a colour or part of the uniform i.e jacket with the trick being not too many figures at a time. I find this allows me to see progress after each session which helps with motivation. |

When trying to get done a unit or just to keep motivated I do a color a day at least on whatever unit I'm doing which can be 6 to 12 figures, |

I just try for 15 minutes a day. Good luck. Post pics. It helps. |

I'm hoping for a figure a day…. so if I can get 360 or even 300 painted by the end of the year I will be happy. |
