Wow, this session rocked. Jim and Brendan did a wonderful job of talking about leveraging a short attention span to keep things interesting and productive.
Do things because you can do things. This was the reoccurring theme in this talk. Just do it because you can. Of course, that isn’t to say that you should do everything you can. Just realize that you don’t need any more reason than because you can.
Continual evolution of design and business. Don’t think your design can’t change or that your business has to do the same thing over and over. Switch it up and follow the needs of your customers.
Chase the shiny things. Many times the shiny things bring us to new places, new situations or new relationships. Do everything as well as you can for as long as you can and don’t be afraid to do something half way and leave it.
Dividends are not always monetary. Practice, experience, ideas, reputation and connections are just a few of the dividends that may end up being worth more than money.
Keep a book or store of ideas. Half thought to half finished, keep track of the ideas and projects that you don’t have time or the will to finish. Even if you don’t pick them up later they can be a great inspiration for more ideas that you will finish.
Do it just because you can.
