Every Little Thing | Para One

Today is that kind of day. Well..actually yesterday was that kind of day…it just never ended.

I don’t want to work. I actually can’t work. I can’t get into the mindset of working. And I don’t think I will. I think I’ll just be sitting here being ineffective when I could be outside running. Or reading. Or drinking. Or dancing. Or doing anything else that my brain and body need to be doing to shake things up and start thinking and designing. But since I live in a place where we are supposed to be in working mode between 9:00am and 5:00pm, no matter what mindset we’re in, I’m sitting here wasting time.

I wonder what they’d do if I left right now. If I just walked out, drove home, and didn’t start working again and until I was ready to. Maybe I’d start working tomorrow. Or Saturday. Maybe it wouldn’t be until Monday and that would be the day I rocked it out. Last week I took a red eye to NYC and once I landed, I got everything done and then some. And the next day I rocked it out AND checked out an exhibit for work. AKA I got shit done…on my schedule. 

I think this might be the new way I work. I think next week I might have my own little design experiment. A work week prototype that I’ll test out on my boss and my team. I am a interaction designer after all..and admittedly a bit of a shit starter.
