Change of plans for the next week

Consistency.
I wanted to start this one, saying that I have a bit, well, more than a bit, of a consistency problem. For quite some time now, I wanted to publish something meaningful each Friday. Every time I tried to stick to it, something always went wrong.
I might be me under performing, getting sick, leaving the town, etc., messing up the release schedule, cause now I have basically nothing meaningful to show.
And even when the pace is good and things are moving forward, It might just be something that is not suitable for the showcase. This is usually any background work or technical stuff I need to do to keep going forward.
Inability to keep up with the schedule is only the first problem, here is another one.
Need more "specialized" practice.
By this I mean animating in & out sex. The thing is, I feel like I am lacking there, and I need to test some things. But I don't want to test stuff and practice on the "Encore", I want to do all of this somewhere else, and THEN bring it to "Encore".
This is what I want to try.
Since I need a big volume of animations to practice on, I think about trying something like a patrons sprint week. The idea is that everybody can offer an idea/characters/settings, and you'll vote for whatever you like. I'll pick top 3...7... no, let's do 5, top 5 and try to make them in a week, basically a day for each one. I want to see how much can I do in a day without sacrificing too much of a quality. If the quality drops too much... I don't know, maybe I can extend this to 2 days for a piece, or just leave it be and change the format in the future, if it is successful enough.
This was the first post, now I am going to make a second one, clearly explaining the rules and so on, so that it is only about the sprint week.
What do you think about something like this?

It's not like you can't, it's just... It's just that things you think are interesting to talk about, don't really matter. Now that I am thinking about it, maybe it's a me problem? I remember I didn't give a shit about physics at school, thinking it's just not my thing. Then we had another teacher and it changed everything. I still didn't really care, but it was very interesting to listen to him, watch him do stuff and so on. The teacher made such a stellar difference it's insane.

I like your idea

I can't imagine what it takes to animate. Even other professionals can't push out WIPs but once every 2 weeks or even longer. I am also in on the recommendations, I have some quick ideas as well that could be summed up in 15-20 second clips. You do you and be careful of burnout π
