Focused Starts

When starting a new project it’s almost as though you need someone standing over your shoulder going – “Smaller”. And then you make things a bit smaller. And then they say – “Focus it down more” And then you focus your intent a bit more. And then they say – “Get rid of the extra and minimize it.” And then you take away all the bells and whistles.

Going offline is not as easy as it once was where I could take a high-powered laptop, load it up with Virtual Images, and work disconnected. So when the connection drops, as it did yesterday, for a few hours, everything backs up, and the machine comes to a stop, waiting
