For serious, it’s Sunday evening already? Man, time flies when you are having fun cleaning up the administrative mess left over from the previous year. I’ve spent the better part of the weekend filing away emails, pictures, receipts and all manner of boring stuff that I only need occasionally, but regret it when it isn’t…
Last week on timotheories (I’ve always wanted to do that), I wrote about archetypes, common sense, motivation, and how watching films can help in learning about human behaviour (see my post, Motivation and Movies). This week I am going to get a little more personal and write about one of my longstanding goals that has become…
Introduction Hello, dear readers! We did it. A comeback AND renewed commitment to creativity! We’ve gotten through the comeback story series, I’m back on the horse, and it turns out this wasn’t just some weird cathartic digital vomit I blasted across social media. I’ve even been including the very professional, career-minded LinkedIn when I publish…
I’ve I’ve said it once, I’ve said it twice, and I’ll probably say it a few more times for good measure. Basic communication is essential, whether you are a painter, photographer, graphic designer, actor, musician or any other kind of creative professional. If you can become an expert of communication, then the sky is limit…
So, you’re sitting at home on a Friday night and you want to watch something cool, but you just realized you don’t even know what’s cool anymore. Ya feel me? Well, this is it, the latest and greatest venture on timotheories. Ever so timely, and thanks one more time to Andre Lindo for inspiring me to…
Do you ever just want to say f**k it, I’m out? I’ve talked about motivations before dear readers, and I’ve hinted at how I stay on top of goals, but I don’t believe I have really and truly detailed for you the significance of keeping a variety of functional lists available at your fingertips at all times…
Remember that “2nd ever” timotheories interview I did with Andrew Wedman a while back? Well, I’ve been thinking a lot about Andrew’s outlook on life and business. His attitude is pretty straightforward – do more with less. As we make our way through this stressful season, it occurs to me that a lot of my normal…
So often in life people speak about motivation like it’s an inherent trait. You either have it or you don’t.You’re either disciplined or you’re lazy.You either want it badly enough or you have a skill issue. It’s a comforting story because it gives us someone to blame when things don’t go our way. And the…
Introduction In a world where creativity is often seen as the result of an original spark, the truth is much more nuanced. Artists, in their various forms, are not lone geniuses creating something from nothing; we are collectors. We gather fragments from the world around us—ideas, sounds, visuals, stories—and blend them into something new. You…
So how many of you remember when I wrote that post a couple of months back about one of my personal goals for the year? Nope, not the one about my movie watching goals (The Watch List), and also not the one about my music reacquiring goals (The Back Catalogue). Want a hint? It has…
