Resolution Review #2: Acquisition Mindset, Micro Thing Challenge
April 5, 2015Read moreIt’s time for my second Groundhog Day Resolutions review of the year!
It has been a difficult month in some respects. For example, my main goal for the month was to make significant progress on my video game project, but I lost steam over the last three weeks. Instead, I did a bunch of tasks that were related to my main goals for the year:

Or really, any project that requires some measure of uncertainty coupled with the desire for rapid progress. I now see new coping mechanisms that may help me move past the feelings of frustration, which I’ll talk about that right after the jump. After that, I’ll talk a bit more about the technical challenge in detail for those who are interested. (more…)

March 9, 2015Read moreLong-time online friend Penny Shima Glanz recently interviewed me on her blog, digging a bit into my design process behind the “reporter style ETP” I did during my recent making challenge.

Resolution Review #1: ETP Notebooks, Games, and Living Room Cafes
March 3, 2015Read moreIt’s time for my first Groundhog Day Resolutions review of the year! On February 2nd, I made several general goals, rewritten slightly from the original ones:
- Eliminating Time-based Thinking
- Reduce Possessions and Responsibilities that sap energy
- Build full-time stationery business by end of year
- Find will to create and share more
- Build health and strength
This year I’m evaluating my goals by whether they fit these and/or one of my 10 year projects. Details follow! (more…)
