I would not say I am a classic “artistic” type: by and large I pay my bills on time; I show up where I am supposed to on time; I have no weird fashion quirks; I don’t owe anybody any money.
But I am a bit disorganized. This is in part an inevitable result of having large quantities of ideas on dozens of topics every day. Well, I’m fixing that. I am implementing David Allen’s “Getting Things Done” system, which I like in no small measure because of the lack of focus on technology.
Anyway, I dug into a container literally filled with ideas–something like a 1,000 sheets of paper–and this was on the top:
“What I want to do is bring to the task of thinking the mindset of a serious craftsman, and create objects both functional and esthetically pleasing.”
I like that.
I SAID that, you say? Ah, but sometimes I think I’m either stupid or a dick, so my agreement with my own ideas is in no way a foregone conclusion.
