3/28/16

Last day of March break. Goodness it goes fast. I’m disappointed that I didn’t get more done on my book, but am reinforced with some confidence as I visit twitter to see what people are saying about design thinking. I really think there’s an opportunity for more here on the softer side of things (Seth Godin styles). Not everything has to be a process. If it’s possible to teach educators on how to teach kids to make good art, there’s plenty of value.

I’ve been disappointed with my diet over the last two weeks as well. Drinking every day has it’s toll both emotionally and calorically. I think that first weekend of partying really set the tone for the next two weeks. I have just under a week and a half to get back on track. School will help. So will the early morning workouts. I really get the purpose now. Working out in the am really frees up my day allowing me to get more out of the time with the kids. More importantly, it tires me out so I’ll be less likely to drink the next day. Important things to remember.

One thing I learned: Design thinking is a very process oriented way to develop creativity. I wrongly believed that it was encroaching on my idea. In fact, the entrepreneurship concept is really an extension of design thinking. Or one way to approach it. Keep on keeping on!

One piece of motivation: Art is out there. It just needs to be done. My art won’t be for everyone, but it’s still important to keep pursuing it. 

Three ideas: While scientist in schools doesn’t have lab for visiting, it’s possible to make the concept work. Discounts could be made for schools to get them in the door. It’s also a fantastic marketing opportunity to have a bunch of kids come visit and then go home and tell their parents how cool it was.
