stop running all over the place and get someplace...

I am sitting here looking at my TweetDeck desktop, watching all of the tweets, reading all of the busy profiles, and I had a flash back of something my mom always used to say... 

"Boy!!! Stop running all over the place, and get someplace, and sit down!" 

Wow... WOW!!! How relevant was she? Right? 

One of the greatest challenges to the designer is focus. ABSOLUTE, focus. And when I say design, I don't want you "boxing" that in. I am not talking solely about "graphic design" or "industrial design" I am talking about ALL design ... the design of systems, the design of services, products, brands, blogs, widgets, EVERYTHING and WHATEVER!!! It's hard for the creative mind to stop "running all over the place" and get "someplace" and "sit down".  Being able to get someplace, and focus there, concentrating all of your creative energy is one of the keys to robust innovation. Focusing on one project at a time; lessens the chance of a project, DESIGN, being watered down and diluted. 

Take your time, stop running all over the place, get SOMEPLACE and sit down with your IDEA (singular, not plural) and put some real thought into it. Craft THE idea in your mind, and bring it to realization... We are waiting on you. Do it.
