Just another fantastic weekend. Spent it up in the Southern Sierras, enjoying some fall weather, golden aspens, and great family time.
A Mammoth Weekend
I’m more than ready for the weekend to begin…
I feel like there’s enormous power, completely untapped, in like-minded people working together in their own separated worlds, free from those that hold their progress back.
I’ve been in the habit this past week of relaxing and doing some drawing in the evenings. Here’s an octopus!
One of the massive upsides of Artificial Intelligence is just the possibilities for pushing creativity further. I’m currently playing with it to help me develop things that make it faster and easier to get things out of my brain. It’s kind of exhilarating.
There are a lot of things that go into a great outing, but perhaps one the key indicators of a great weekend is if you end up with more things on your todo list than what you had when the weekend started.

Trying to maintain my zen-like state after four fantastic days off.
Sometimes it’s not about working on what you really should be working on. It’s working on the thing that let’s you get into the flow. And then you can work on those other things.

I like the time after returning from a trip — looking over maps from the trip, and future trips, planning the next thing.
It’s a really beautiful cloud day out there. Just lots of small, but puffy clouds dotting the blue sky.
Eating out can be quite expensive these days, but the quality family time is pretty unbeatable. I love the time before the food arrives, where we have a number of little games that we like to play together.

Of course I love our “coffee walks” for the walk, and the coffee. But maybe I also just like that my wife holds my hand while we walk.
Sometimes there is some miraculous productivity hack to solve the problem of having too much to do. Sometimes there’s just actually too much work.
There are a variety of ways to structure your day, and I like quite a few of them. Today I’m in the mood to really just dive fully into a single, fairly complicated project and just make some good progress on it. Sometimes I go the opposite way, and just bounce around from project to project, which can be nice too.
I guess part of me likes this time of year, when the sun sets at the end of my workday and the trees out my window are cast in yellow light as the birds sing and chirp.
Nothing some loud music and caffeine can’t solve.
Freelance Tip: Any time a client notes a duration of time, double, or even triple it. I learned this long ago with meetings, and especially for little requests (“can you hop on a call for 10 minutes”, which is never 10 minutes). It also applies to projects: “Can you block in two hours next week for us”, which generally turns into three, four, or more, unless you’re careful.
I really need to get out and hike around in the trees somewhere…
