I've just started on a new project that is consuming my time. I can't tell you exactly what it is but it's an opportunity I am very grateful for. It's an online venture so I have been spending an inordinate amount of time in front of my computer screen over the past few day.
My eyeballs and my brain are going nuts. Eyeballs from staring at the screen and brain from trying to get acclimated to the new situation. It's been wild and stressful and my friends have all been extremely nice (thanks for that, guys). What I'm working on now has me really excited and frightened at the same time. It can simultaneously feel like I am winning and loosing.
But I persist.
What this situation has done, more than anything, is make me realize how important time off is. How little missing a tweet means. How little letting one video go unwatched means. How time away from the screen is actually well spent.
I'll still be around here. Still posting regularly. And still focusing on helping out students in good and bad ad programs alike. When I write here now it feels like my safe haven. And that is nice.
So stop reading for a second and take a step outside and do something. That's my only advice this week.
ps: I have two posts in the making that I am very excited for. Stay tuned!!!
