This started as a job hunting type of container, and became a catch-all place for thoughts and ideas, but I'm thinking I can do whatever I want with it, so why constrain myself to a topic? Who cares? Nobody. I don't have a brand, I'm not being paid, so I can do what I want, and that's the beauty of it. Too much freedom can be as bad as not enough, but it's totally okay to switch things up. Sometimes I might write and sometimes I will just share photos, whatever, I just want to do something so I don't become static and stagnate.
The online Wordpress and UI/UX classes were really inspiring, though tedious at times, as learning can often be, but it's good to stretch your brain through the tough parts, or you aren't really learning anything.
I'm just going to experiment here, I know it's not my Wordpress site, but it's still good to try and see what I can do, even if I don't have a particular goal in mind. I can get easily overwhelmed with too many things and ideas, and end up not doing any of them, so I don't think I should say I'm going to do this or that. I had general ideas to have a photo blog that was separate from my "art blog," art meaning drawing, painting, and collage, etc., and a writing blog to try and write a book (because at this point, why not?). And I have thousands of photos, some of which I think are fantastic and would like to have a place dedicated to their presentation.
Then I start with the overwhelm because I think well, you have to edit them first, and possibly watermark them, and do you plan on trying to sell them at all? And I don't post any, because it's too many things to think about and make decisions on, and try to do all at once. So actually, the lesson in my class about Agile development was really meaningful, because it emphasizes using planning boards (like Scrum and Kanban), and working in a circular flow, so you don't need to have one part completely finished before you work on other parts. That's a great way to help get through the "Stop! You cannot do (this or that) because you have not yet perfected (the other)!"
So cheers to Agile and may it help to overcome both procrastination syndrome and perfectionist-ism. ;-)
T.A.R.D.I.S. ice is cooooool!
