I'm glad, I guess I agree that the article could have balanced both sides... but often articles that do that get too long and wordy, and they lose the focus on the really important point they were trying to make. And yeah, offloading all my other projects to work on the games full time was the best thing I could have done at the time, I'm much happier these days. I'm even enjoying having a blog again! Cheers.

Your comment made me think. In some stages of my life, I was trying to achieve everything every day, and it worked. It just doesn't work any more for me, most of the time, and I'm finding alternatives. I'm sure I'll have 100% busy days with dozens of things done, but that has to be an exception, rather than the rule. And the article would have been nicer taking that into account. So, actually, I'm glad you posted the sarcastic comment (I got the sarcasm, I just thought there was a valid criticism behind it). I'm happy to be posting these reflections in public and having interesting conversations from which I learn more than I would if I kept them private. Also, hope you're doing well with the games!!

I thought your last post was good, I had my tongue firmly in cheek and was bashing on my own inept approach to things :). I totally agree that breaking things down and having simple targets usually gets much more done. I tend to flap around a lot, and a lot of the time I just end up with noise and bluster. I definitely didn't want to leave you questioning the value of the post... that's the kind of thing I love to read, it helps me calm down and refocus. I guess I forgot that sarcasm doesn't always come over in plain text, no matter how hard you try :).
