In the past, I’ve found nothing gets you quite out of a rut like starting over. With that in mind, I decided late last night to tear things down and rebuild again. I’ve got a ton of work still to do (for example, any page but the front) but I’m happy with the overall direction.
For the redesign, I decided to group everything into “living” or “working.” I’ve also decided to try and lighten up a bit – there is certainly a place for the thoughts that have dominated my writing over the past year or more, but lately I’ve felt like I can’t write unless I have something big and important to say. And since my life these past few months has largely been an exercise in getting immense enjoyment out of the mundane, why not embrace that instead of fretting over having nothing to say? Life is really good, and I should enjoy it.
I’m hoping this latest iteration will give me the inspiration to explore the other interests that haven’t been getting enough love from me the past few years. I’m hoping you enjoy the realignment. At the very least, I’m hoping you don’t go to the effort of printing this out, just to light it on fire, standing over it and cackling into the cold evening air.
