From Happiest Place On Earth to Work

I am back from a vacation to Walt Disney World in Florida.  Now for the painful yet fun transition back to work.  I hate this part.  The transition to vacation is always easy, just happens naturally, but the transition back to productive always takes work.  Seems a bit odd that getting back to work takes work though.

I guess there is a certain inertia to work that people have, a person that is working tends to stay working.  Seems logical.  So a person on vacation tends to stay on vacation, or at least wished they could.

If this is correct it makes sense to get working, and keep a good pace that you could sustain and basically never stop.  🙂  I know sounds nuts.  It does seem though that we were built to sustain a load for a long time and keep it up if our brains have an inertia to them.  I’ve been working hard for well over a year and it seems like it is correct to me.

Lazy people tend to be lazy, hard workers tend to work hard.  Is there a moment in your life where you changed to one of those categories?  I know I changed from lazy to productive just recently, like 2+ years ago now and my life is much better because I made that change.

Hey, if you don’t already come follow me on twitter and see how this transition goes – @magicrat_larry

Even I Need a Break

I’ve been working hard, very hard.  I am leaving on a vacation for 2 weeks and had to make sure that all the stuff that I do daily didn’t just stop when I left.  So I have not had the chance to write here as much as I would have liked over the past couple weeks.

Vacations are both great and difficult when you work as an indie game developer.  You have to take breaks, I get that, but those breaks are harder than the work.  You get used to working so hard on something that you love so much that stepping back becomes a harder job than continuing the pattern of hard work.  I am going on vacation though.  I will not work on the game itself when I am gone.  I will maintain any interactions that people may have with me via Twitter or this blog when I am at a downtime in the vacation.

It will be nice to come back from vacation and hit the ground running again.  I cannot wait to continue to pound the drum of Violent Sol Worlds and get this Kickstarter out the door.  When I get back from my trip I will be re-energized and even more active than I was before.  I look forward to it and cannot wait to both go on vacation and to return with a new vigor.
