I am currently ramping up to reinvigorate my blog / online presence / personal brand / social media strategy, etc. etc. What you are seeing on my blog today is a temporary placeholder until I can officially "relaunch." I've recently moved to the East Coast (Somerville, MA) and have been doing some Big Thinking about where I'm going with my work, life, etc. Part of this is a renewed emphasis on ego-building online. It's easier now than ever, and I'm really exhausted by seeing uninteresting people have all the fun. However, as an antidote to my bad habits of taking on too many low-value projects and passive aggressively making the last 20% of ongoing projects drag on and on, I have been trying to implement Cal Newport's idea of a completion-centric productivity.
As a freelancer, I often get a feeling of isolation when working on projects; sometimes this leads to a lack of accountability (i.e. peer pressure). I miss more, however, the riffing and brainstorming that happens when people willingly get together, share ideas, and are genuinely interested in each others’ (or the collective) success. (and it has to be face-to-face… virtual meetings can’t replicate the energy building of a good brainstorming session).
