Looking for inspiration
Where do you look for inspiration?
For example, I’ve been trying to inspire myself to get into a more regular blogging rhythm. I’ve also tried to be a source of inspiration for others as we’ve had lots of “churn” recently at THP with clients coming and going and assignments and roles changing with that churn.
It’s not always easy and I sometimes I find myself in sort of an inspiration rut. Let’s face it, even those he’s The Boss and all there’s only so many times you can listen to Badlands to recharge your batteries.
Some people turn to their faith, some to their families, some to music, some to relaxation.
Some people like me, try to mix things up a bit and get their energy from new projects or assignments as a way to light that fire.
So in this time where the economy has sucked for a while, where we’re still banging our heads against the wall on the same local issues we’ve been dealing with for years, and we (at least we are) moving us and our kids around at the speed of light, where do we turn?
Where do you turn? I’d love to know.
Your post is interesting, Jon. I find I hit this wall when I have a regular project at work (another campaign, same objectives, new create design) where I just can’t get inspired. I’m the type of person where these ideas hit me in the middle of the night, or sitting on my back porch with a glass of wine. Unfortunately, I don’t often have a pen (or tablet) in hand to capture the idea and then…poof…it’s gone. Just like the glass of wine.
Jon I’ve always turned to you for inspiration!
You are right the last few years have not been easy economically or otherwise for many.
This year I’ve gotten involved with a robotics team at my son’s school. It is inspiring just being around the 4th and 5th graders as they problem solve, and they can make me laugh as well.
Of course I’ve also tried Britt’s strategy.
Thanks, I think. I’ve also tried Britt’s strategy but mine is a different colored liquid in a mason jar.
I’ve found a new (for me anyway) method of inspiration. I explain in minute detail what my issues are to my 2 year old Granddaughter. She “analyzes” the data and gives me two options: “More Candy” or “Wanna watch Team Umi Zoomi”.
That helps me put the world into proper perspective.
Haven’t asked her picks for President,but I know she’s formulating an opinion.
