Pushed one project forward and learned many things today.
An intense morning figuring out how to pull more traffic to one web site. Two forms of content developed. Afternoon talking with other team members about infrastructure issues.
-
Back at my desk with several very cool ideas to execute this week! #li
I'm going to try and raise visibility for a couple of the web sites and launch a new kind of meeting for inventive conversations.

Trying to figure out how to get the best of the routine and the best of a break while visiting Austin #li
Breaks in our routine are really valuable to our creativity, but we have to figure out how to balance. What part of the routine just get dropped? What part has to be protected to maintain productivity?

After excellent breakfast with Durwin Sharp, have entirely new set of options to explore. #li
Durwin Sharp is Chief Idea Catalyst at Virtual Thinking Expedition, and whenever I get stuck he helps me find a way out. He's great at getting whole teams unstuck, as well.

Big to-do list and lots of errands today, but plenty of learning and adventure #li
Traveling to lunch with a friend today, placing orders, making arrangements. Hope to share what I've learned tomorrow.

Discovered that when I fall behind on my reading, my creativity stalls
Less was accomplished today than I hoped. I spent way too much time looking for things. But I think that was just dithering from the fact I haven't been doing my evening reading over the last few days. It's like my well has run dry.
-
New challenges from this weekend are testing my management skills this week. Trying to get a team on track. #li
All my teams are unpaid volunteers, so keeping them involved is very challenging.
-
Finally starting to achieve some serenity about all these works in progress. Everything moves forward. #li
Since I work mostly on my own these days, my projects do not make quick progress, but I learn tremendously, and there's very little strife. My projects and I evolve.

Revisiting the “Passport to Loyalty” concept this week in light of what I figured out last week #li
Last week I found new insight into the way loyalty operates in our minds. The 'passport to loyalty' application is an experiment in consumer-led loyalty. We actually start with a handheld printed guide, and then leverage what we've learned onto a information system.

Today did not work out as planned, but I found a way to make it productive
Well, I didn't get to sending out email updates, but I spent some time writing my bio, and made many more updates to the Creative Houston database than I expected. Tomorrow, I should be able to finish the Columbia Club plan (draft 2) without interruption.
