/now
A snapshot of what I’m up to these days, inspired by Derek Sivers’ /now page movement.
- animating motion graphics projects for Tilt Studios
- wrapping up my daughter's gymnastics club's website
- building out a personal, AI-aided review-and-planning system that runs daily, weekly, and quarterly
- making art — experimenting with some gel-printing techniques and making prints for Open Studios in December
- cutting together my demo reel
- Italian language (ongoing)
- the Productivity Field Guide system
Still working through this one — haven't had much reading time lately.
“Why do we love committers but act like browsers? I think it’s because of three fears. First, we have a fear of regret: we worry that if we commit to something, we will later regret having not committed to something else. Second, we have a fear of association: we think that if we commit to something, we will be vulnerable to the chaos that that commitment brings to our identity, our reputation, and our sense of control. Third, we have a fear of missing out: we feel that if we commit to something, the responsibilities that come with it will prevent us from being everything, everywhere, to everyone. Because of these fears, the tension sticks around. We act like browsers, we love committers, and we’re too scared to make the jump—so we’re stuck.”
— Pete Davis, via Brain Food- Too much to do, too many interests — need to let go of some and go all-in on a few, but not sure which yet.
