I’ve got a lot on my plate. I’ve been a little overwhelmed. Here is the list:
- Design and social media work for ASU’s Office of the President
- Pursuing my MSD in Interaction Design
- Learning improv from The Torch Theatre Longform Improv Training Center
- Performing improv
- Practicing with Unicorn Warpath (improv again, surprise!)
- Working on a redux of http://www.thetorchtheatre.com
- Volunteering for Phoenix Improv Festival
- Talking with lots of people about design in Phoenix
- Trying to file my legal paperwork (long story)
- Figuring out how to support myself alone for the first time in my adult life
- Letterpress exhibit curation & promotion
- MADphx podcast
- Rapid Rebrands
- Random logo and web help around town for friends and projects I admire
I’ve looked at this list long and hard (#twss!) trying to figure out what I might cut so my mind doesn’t explode. But there is nothing I can cut without losing a piece of my heart. Some of this stuff is unavoidable and just needs to get done. There are so many things that I want to see this city be and so many things I want to be a part of, I just can’t walk away from any of these projects without thinking I didn’t give my all to it.
So lately I’ve been pursuing the idea of “more is more.” I may not be able to get all of this done perfectly, but continuing to move forward despite the pressures and limitations best I can. I look at it like training for a marathon. I’m starting to adjust and figure out what I need to do to keep myself sane and fed. I am going to get through it.
