5 Things and Then Some

Yes - one more set of things to get  doing.

I enjoyed reading this.  Read it to get some ideas for a program I'm working on. Lots of fun ideas to playing around with thoughts of many types of creative people in between.

This list was from her and she did this.  And she had 5 other tips here.

1. Work first thing in the morning. Don't get bogged down in the clutter of life before the YOU time.
2. Work for ten to fifteen minutes only. There is less to lose in a small bite of time and it's easier to commit to it.
3. Break down large goals into smaller bites. It helps to build momentum.
4. Reward yourself for meeting your goals. Chocolate. Go play. Shop. Whatever works.
5. Make yourself accountable. Preferably to someone else. Find someone you trust to pester you.

Some of them are doable.

Here are some random others.

Have multiple projects going at all times.

Go for walks and observe.

Don't try to be good.

Here's a fun idea from the book. Creative inspiration can come from seeing the responses of others to your actions.
1. Buy 10 things - flowers, candy bars, coffee
2. Give them to 10 people you wouldn't normally give a gift to
3. Document their reactions
4. Document your reactions

I Got Me Some Catching Up To Do

I've been doing this thing called sleeping. I'm not used to it. And it may be making me a bit mad. Although they say it's a good thing.

I am a bit less crazy. It feeds each other - the crazy and the not sleeping. It's a cycle.

Things just don't get done when you are sleeping.

It's a good thing. (I just keep saying that over and over.)

There are things I want to save and here is a good place. It is like working things out in my head, only I can see it. Somehow validate it. Make it a commitment if it's in writing. It's very cool, in it's own way.

Soon.
