Lately it seems that I can\u2019t keep my head out of my day job\/office work. As usual, there\u2019s an enormous amount of work on my plate every day, and I end up spending huge amounts of time sitting at my desk, on conference calls, or even working from home. My mind has veered off into the tumbleweed-laden, snake-infested cool desert night. Nothing around but survival with very little hope for something more than what I\u2019m currently engaged in. I think this is stemming from multiple things in my life currently, but I\u2019m letting it take control, and that\u2019s just unacceptable.<\/p>\n
Most of my creative energy lies in the foundation of free, open thinking, in that, I need to be around creativity, to pull it into my own thoughts, digest it, and remanufacture it into my own flavor. I believe that, just as success breeds success, creativity breeds creativity. In my own experience, it is very difficult to just sit in a dark room with no stimulus and create something amazing. Creativity is the culmination of thoughts and experiences, which are driven by the fabric of your life. Hence, the more you interact and the more you learn, the more creativity is at your disposal.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s time to leave that desert and set sail for the lush, green, vibrant rain forest that\u2019s full of life and adventure. To do this though will require some effort. I need to buy back more free time from my day job and wrangle up as much quality time as possible.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve heavily considered moving to L.A. lately for many reasons, but have realized that I have no discipline to do so right now. My main reasons to move there would be to hang out with friends, and absorb some of their energy to produce something for myself which might not be too hard as the “industry” is a stone’s-throw from that entire area. While this is a great concept, I can\u2019t mentally afford to do that yet. I feel that the building-blocks of my creativity are not up to snuff yet. I\u2019d like to get out there with an arsenal \u2013 my own trademark or dog-eared book full of projects that I am developing. I\u2019m not there yet.<\/p>\n
To pave the way to creativity, I must do some clear-cutting. The main thing I need to take an axe to is my day job\u2019s workload. Since I\u2019m a control freak and work-a-holic, I very rarely allow others to manage my projects. This has to change and now that I have enough staff to accomplish this, it will happen.<\/p>\n
Starting tomorrow, I\u2019ll begin offloading projects to my staff and getting them up to speed. They\u2019re still a bit green, but they\u2019ll learn quickly enough, just as I did. I will gently steer them in the right directions. My hope is that, in the next few weeks, I\u2019ll be able to relax a bit more and move forward on my own projects, including the newly-started SCS017. SCS017 is my internal project code and I will continue to reference the project via this code from now on until the true title is revealed.<\/p>\n
