Losing weight
Mar. 13th, 2013 04:26 pmIf my possesions are a map of my mind, what does reading that map tell me?
Lately it's been all too obvious that I have a lack of direction. I flit from one project to the next, jumping from one shiny idea to another, without getting very far on any of them. Sometimes there's a pause point where I can declare a sort of victory, mostly it's a mud pie mess of half-finished prototype that's not really useful for anything, except maybe to ask the question, "what was I thinking?"
I've been trying to take pictures of some of the more illutrative projects before they go away, but so many of them are just notes scribbled on lego or erector or perfboard.
Nonetheless, each time another piece of flotsom goes away, i feel lighter. I have several more months of this to go- every day, lightening the load. By the time I move, I should have a much clearer idea of what projects still hold my intrest, and what they mean to me.
