However, I've come up with a handy-dandy roadmap for the realistic traveler. I should have it branded onto my forehead in reverse, so that when I look in a mirror I will remember it.
#2: Set some goals and BRAINSTORM.
Don't brainstorm too long because
that's called procrastination.
Don't brainstorm too short because
that's called lazy.
#3: Start WORKING
Working is not the same as playing.
Working is not the same as being miserable, either.
#4: DON'T STOP if you get discouraged
Everyone gets discouraged.
You're not special because you're overwhelmed.
It doesn't make you more of an artist.
It doesn't make you more interesting to be tortured.
It makes you lame.
Cuz everyone feels this way.
#5: Keep GOING
Find new inspiration
Change your mind
Try something new
But keep it moving
#6: FINISH
Pat yourself on the back
that you had the balls to follow through
even though things got messy.
#7: SHOW your idea to people.
Some people will love it.
Others won't.
MANY WON'T CARE AT ALL.
So what?
#8: ACCEPT that you are done.
You can't change it now. Let it lie.
If it makes you feel better, remember that
you are better off now than if you
never had the idea in the first place.
Eat a piece of cake.
Go to Disneyland.
Buy a tiara.
#9: DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN WITH A NEW IDEA.
#4: Definitely me right now.
I really could have used this list yesterday when I was finishing my portfolio.
As of 7:43am today, it was completed, labelled, coded, etc. I can now graduate (as long as I pass chemistry...)!!
