Thirty Days turns on the pressure with thirty daily deadlines. Each deadline forces the artist to choose a subject, an approach and a tool and create something by the end of the day. By establishing deadlines, even artificial ones, the act of creation is given a higher priority in the hierarchy of everyday activities.

Re-prioritizing daily tasks is often difficult at first, but becomes easier over the Thirty Days.

The aim is to get something made by the end of the day. It may not be your best work, but it will give you experience with re-organizing your life to make creating art a priority. Something may be squeezed out to make room, maybe for the better.
