As 2007 comes to an end, I have to say that I\u2019m both happy and disappointed with my progress in life. Good things have happened to me and my family. Not many \u201cbad\u201d things happened, but ultimately my frustration comes from my lack of making good headway both personally and for Suncoast Studios.<\/p>\n
I started the year by getting a new job, one in which my professional limits could stretch and be utilized properly in an environment that needed them. I\u2019ve worked pretty damned hard this year, putting in a ton of hours, but I can say that there\u2019s been a lot of great benefit from it. I\u2019ve put together a great staff and overcome some difficult tribulations. I think I\u2019ve offered a very good service overall. Of this, I\u2019m proud.<\/p>\n
On the home front I think things could have gone better \u2013 it\u2019s been tough. Financially, Shauna and I have had some troubles and are now just getting on an even footing. Things are looking like they\u2019ll return to normal in 2008 and I hope we\u2019ll be able to honestly start getting ahead on some credit card debt.<\/p>\n
I can say that I\u2019m most disappointed in my progress (or lack thereof) with Suncoast Studios this past year. Some sporadic work resulted in getting Jeff\u2019s book finished in late November. This was after a lot of work, but there was also a lot of inefficient time spent on this project. I should have just spend whatever time I could, night after night, to get it done, but instead let it slide in favor of doing day job work. I need to find a better balance on these projects. The only other thing that I really accomplished this year was rendering the 35mm 4K animation for Tangible Entertainment. This was supposed to only take three weeks, and ended up taking about eight. Most of that was completely under estimating the time-frame to get it done, but I also realized I had no real work flow for rendering things like this. No work flow = almost no efficiency, which I hate. I need to get back to setting goals, creating task lists, and sticking to a strict calendar agenda. Planning is everything. I am failing to plan, which is a plan to fail. Procrastination needs to be kicked to the curb too. This is sounding more and more like a New Year\u2019s resolution.<\/p>\n
Well, I think I have all that out of my system.<\/p>\n
