I am much like Tina, in that I find myself keeping track when I’m unsure of my productivity, when life starts interrupting a little too frequently for comfort. I am finding though, that as I move deeper into my art, the need to track is not so great. I can look around and see the work and know that I’m producing. Now I need that special focus to make sure that I am progressing and not just producing. Producing doesn’t necessarily equal success in my world.

Thanks again for your answer! ~ Laure

I don’t keep track all the time but seem to go through phases of needing to somehow prove to myself that I am actually being productive. Usually it’s when I have far too many things to do, including non-art things, and start to feel guilty. So don’t feel guilty! The art itself is the proof of your perseverence and hard work. And we can definitely see that with your work!
