... Happy sunday to you! What are you up to?
I am thinking a lot about things I am not happy in my life and that seem to happen on a regular basis. Things like not being able to translate into reality the many ideas/projects that are living undisturbed in my mind or- at their best- on my sketchbooks. It is clear to me that I am the only person guilty of this and the only one who has the power to change the situation.
The most frustrating thing is letting ideas sleep in the drawers for months, sometimes years, to see then one day that very same idea (or something very close to it) successfully realized by other people. Sometimes ideas are in the air, one must catch them fast.
At his point one of my favorite quotes by Albert Einstein came to mind "insanity is doing always the same thing and expecting different results" . I was insane for a very long time then. I must understand what to do differently in order to get different results.
Sometimes changing habits and known behavior patterns can be difficult.
Did you ever try to accomplish something like that?
I took action and started writing down all my ideas today, for a start. First step that I will lead to a September full of prototypes making, I hope.
Hopefully I will be able to share something here soon.
For the moment I wish you a lovely summer weekend.

This Sunday is a day off. And I mean off:) I know the feeling, about project and ideas. Have you tried Getting Things Done as a technique? Can be overwhelming at times, but usually gives you a good picture of what to focus on first.
ReplyDeleteHi Marta! Nice to hear I am not alone in this :-) 'Getting Things Done' as a technique sounds good, do you mean doing things as soon as ideas pop in your mind? If that is it, I guess it's my problem. Or is it something more specific? Must exercise it, it would be a big change for me. ;-) Happy sunday off.

Not sure is you've checked this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getting_Things_Done It's more about just catching the ideas and clearing your head. Then deciding about "next actions" which kind of replace the ever-popular to-do lists.
ReplyDeleteI will check it, eager for some change! thanks
