I find I need to take periodic breaks every now and then, where I have nothing to do, maybe laze around on the XBox 360 while devouring oreos. My recharge tradition... that and sitting on the beach or on a dock in the Chesapeake Bay. For me, the more there is to do the more stressed out and the less motivated I become, to do it.

Today is my day off work, every Friday is my day off work. I, like Megan have a list going of things to do, phone calls to make, people to follow up with, events, nights out, potential projects ..and so on. Today I have made three phone calls, 5 emails, and yet another list within a list. I love being busy and having a redic list of things to do, they may not all get done today but, it is gratifying at the end of the day to know that I still have more to do. If everything were always done..there would be nothing to do and nothing to motivate the imagination. So my thing is the more there is to do the more motivated I am. Along with motivation Megan talks about imagination and balancing the two. I like the idea of designers being thinkers...so i think we should all keep thinking, keep listing, and keep doing. Cheers to summer. rb 11:05 AM Friday June 6th.
