time wasting

0029 by provax
Thanks to Etsy's new circles and activity feed features I just discovered this amazing project by provax via erin from the atlantic treefox. As a designer I can relate to every single one of these documents of time wasting. Spending so much time inside my own head trying to figure out if I'm on the right track, if what I want to do is even possible, if anyone will listen to my reasoning, if I'm just rehashing old ideas, if I have enough time to do all of the drawings I need, and on and on. I wonder if I had one of these prints above my desk if it would help me stay focused on the task at hand or if I would be better served keeping it around as a reminder that such thoughts and moments are part of the creative process. At least, they're a big part of my creative process. One hour and thirty-two minutes of comparing nearly identical options. Yup, sounds very familiar.

  3. These are so true. Now I'm thinking about all the time I wasted today worrying about stupid things that never even happened. Really great blog, saw your post on UEF :)

  5. I think...
    that there should be one that says
    2HRS and 14 MINS
    TOGGLING BACK
    AND
    FORTH
    BETWEEN
    TWITTER
    AND FACEBOOK.

    Because I think I did that today instead of working:)
