A little elaboration on some of the tips:

  1. 24 hours seems like such a long time. But it really isn’t. If you don’t hit the ground running, 3 AM shows up way faster than it has ever done before. Do NOT get comfortable with time.
  2. I have made this mistake before. Last year was the only year that I didn’t do it at 4 Color Fantasies. I did it at my house. That gave me way too much comfort to make something beautiful. I almost didn’t make the deadline.  If you care too much about what you’re working on, you can waste a lot of time on creating detail work.
  3. The more breaks you take, the more time you have to consider all of the things you’d rather be doing. Like sleeping.
  4. This is supposed to be fun. You’re not getting paid. So don’t let the stress get to you. Self care is way more important.
