Note to self: sleep is good
It’s amazing how a good night’s sleep can bring clarity the next day. I’ve been pushing myself to redesign my site and to complete another site for my portfolio before I continue my job search. I’ve been feeling rushed and staying up late because every day longer I take to finish it is another day I have to be at my crap-ass job. Changes over the last couple of months have strengthened my resolve to move on and despite economy woes and a weak job market, staying in my current situation is not an option.
But forcing myself and rushing is making me crazy and instead of being creative in my designs and solutions, I end up staring blankly at the screen or moving objects around pixel by pixel waiting for the solution to magically appear. This morning I woke up early, determined to make up for my two-day pity party. Afterall, I did take a “personal day” to work on this stuff so I better be productive.
So far I’ve been able to come up with a better ideas today. Sometimes I need to remind myself to just go to bed and that the next day will be better.
