It's really more of a habit. I like to think of it as a naming convention: "10.15.08.A" means I don't have to invent a name for what's abstract in the first place. Excited to see how your progress becomes "visible" to you with what are essentially artistic progress tracking codes. Steve, glad you’re starting with the tracking. It’s really more of a habit.

I know I really should. Today will be the day I start. I do not keep all drafts of my drawings, only the 1st drafts with the final redrawn in my sketch book. Not all of my 1st drafts make it into the book but I still keep them. This has been a thought in the back of my head but I’ve yet to date anything. I know I really should.

On the back of every 3x5 card I do: mm.dd.yy.X where X = A-Z order of pieces done on that day. Whether you’re using sketchbooks, 3×5s, or cocktail napkins, just make a habit of dating every piece.
