/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
- launching my daughter's gymnastics club's new website
- making art: gel printing every day, and making prints for Open Studios in December
- cutting a rough cut of my new motion reel
- Italian language (ongoing)
- the Productivity Field Guide system
“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.
