Wish I Had More Time

Posted on by magicrat_larry

So I have been busy as can be.  We are speeding up toward Kickstarter and Greenlight and it is a lot of work.  I hope it is all worth it.  I just wish I had more time to do this blog better justice.  It is fun writing to the world and seeing if people are listening the the ramblings.

I spend most my time now marketing and such for the push.  the blog just kinda falls off because it takes time.  It is sad that some of the most quality things you do take a lot of time and often do not get as much bang for the minute as other less quality interactions.  People are interesting, I suppose they have little time too, so places like Twitter and Facebook are easier and quicker, but there is still something about having something larger than 140 characters to read and not just clicking a like button on a photo.

The world is getting so fast that even our interactions are fast and less meaningful.  Sometimes I wish we had to slow down and do things a bit differently.  Well, I am off now.  Gotta interact with people in 30 seconds or less.  🙂

Seriously, You Are a Terrible Inefficient Mess

Posted on by magicrat_larry

You are a terrible inefficient mess, now that, that is out in the open let me reassure you it can be fixed.  I know, you are saying, no way, I’m just really busy, I have no time.  Yup, that is because you are a terrible inefficient mess.  Just admit it like I did years ago and attack the problem, because it is a problem.

See, I bet you spend more time doing basically nothing you care about than you do on the things you love.  I bet you sleep, or relax more than you need to.  I bet you watch TV.  I’d bet that over 50% of your waking hours, not at work, are wasted on things that you personally would say are not important.  It’s true, I didn’t believe it at first either, until I spent an entire year looking at it to remove the stuff I did not care about and just leave the golden bits of awesome that is a satisfying life.

Take the time today to look at your daily actions and ask yourself, if I didn’t do this would I be less happy?  If the answer is no, then stop doing it and ask yourself what you could be doing that makes you more happy.  It will change everything, you will find yourself productive, satisfied, and excuse-less.  You will no longer pick up 500 new things to do because they sound cool, your day will actually knowingly be full.  Changes to your day will actually sadden you, because some of your golden nugget time will be taken away by changing a tire or going to the doctor.

It is something I wish I would have done from the beginning of my life.  Do it now, you can find time to do the things you love.  Me, I’m making games at a rate that blows most peoples minds.  Filling your life with things you love, is nothing less than pure joy.
