The Best Laid Plans…
Ahhhh… what grand plans I had for the beginning of 2010. A complete overhaul of my personal sites/branding, a new collaboration with Josh Porter, updating my wife’s website, and numerous things at work.
However, leading the design team at a startup and being a good husband and father took up a bit more time than I had planned on and so the only thing that got out the door was 52 Weeks of UX, which I am proud to say, is off to a great start! I realized mid-way through my personal site(s) redesign that I wanted a system that was flexible enough to handle all the things I have planned and yet maintain a visual consistency that I could feel good about. So, I went back to the drawing board and hopefully soon you will see the fruits of that labor.
Another huge goal of mine for this year is to write more. I realized that 2 things need to happen for this to really take off:
- Read as much as possible. Read all kinds of different stuff. Read fiction. Read non-fiction. Read. Read. Read.
- Write. All the time. Whenever I have an idea, put it on paper (or in Evernote). But the point being, you must write constantly and without fear in order to become a better writer.
All this to say, I am excited for this year ahead and be on the lookout for more good stuff coming soon!
