November 27th: Weekly Design Links
“Progress is made by lazy men looking for easier ways to do things.” – Robert A. Heinlein
The influx of good work continues. My process is pretty solid at this point, but it’s hard to keep up when there’s so much to go through. I’m looking forward to 2019 now. I’m letting go of the many things I told myself I had to do this year. The plan from here is to focus on the few projects that have real meaning to me right now. I’m really good about going back to old projects–good ideas that I didn’t quite work out. What I’m not good at is finishing projects. This is usually because I have too many going on at the same damn time. I manage, but I know I can be more efficient. That’s something I can work on in 2019.
