Push me
I haven't been blogging much lately, as I've been working rather obsessively on a project. I love it when something I'm working on forces me to venture a bit outside of my comfort zone. Suddenly, I'm provided with the excuse and the motivation to get a better handle on a technique, learn something new, employ a technology I'm unfamiliar with, or work out a creative solution to a problem I haven't encountered before. I could certainly spend time learning and experimenting at my leisure, but there's nothing more compelling than a deadline and a real-life challenge to drive me into action. Cheers to clients and the challenges they present.

I've always known that work was therapy for the body, but it wasn't until recently that I realized that it was theraputic for the mind as well. My father will be retiring this year, but he is still learning new video formats (he's an editor): to use his mind and to learn.
And a deadline only adds spice to the recipe!
