Such a slimey way to be committed

The following email I sent to Peter (my coach), Don (my advisor), and Frank (my committed colleague).



I have been doing with minimal planning. Like a ship saying it will reach a specific destination, but unwilling to chart a course.

Today is VERY FULL. I do not see the time in my day to complete it (my plan), however I will use what opportunities come up to do that.

I will be picking up the puzzle from the printer between 10-11am. I will be taking a bus to downtown RO in 1 hour. Once I have a completion time I call Marco Sosnowski and he'll drive me to the center. At the center I'll use a razor knife to create the puzzle for delivery @ class. Additionally I have 3 display concepts to create for Game Scoreboards. I have 4 pieces of drawing paper that I will be using to do this -- tonight we work from concept diagrams.

Saturday schedule is busy also:
8am SAI team call
9am Personal planning time - TIME FOR MY TGIW (Team Game in the World)!
10am Prepare for photo shoot - document what we will have as a result, pricing, release forms
noon Leave for Detroit on bus with gear headed for Kelley's
2pm Interrupt photo shoot for SAI team captains call
5pm Assist Kelley (the model) with homework (computers) (this may get swapped to before 2pm) -- my commitment here is to limit time to 1 hour. Beyond that we need to have paid tudor conversation.
9pm I'll be in Detroit... Go out to a club with camera ready for more photos, meeting people
by midnight determine a definite ride home and commitment
2am head home & sleep

Sunday
9am Time to plan day
9:30am TGIW / college update
by 2pm send completed TGIW and college update out
afternoon work on photos & fill out LLC forms online
8pm call Frank Barkovich, my committed colleague

Peter the next few days are very busy with doing. I'm sitting in the impact of failing to plan how that doing results in what I'm up to in my game. The possibility I am inventing for myself is being aware, free, and playful. What results you will see from this:
  1. My TGIW will be complete by 2pm on Sunday and sent to you, Peter.
  2. My college status, project, risk management, ... will be sent to my advisor, Don, by 4pm Sunday.
  3. I will have a plan for activities the next two weeks which pull the Capstone Fair completion to me on March 19 (10am-2pm). I just realized I can invite the public to the fair, which I will do in class tonight.

My blog is bringing together many facets of my life. It is giving me freedom to provide detailed focus in one place that serves many. Simple notices around will bring interested viewers to the new destination. I'm commited to creating several internet experiences of content that will drive income, through affiliations and selling the work I produce.

I just posted a note on Gazzag directing a friend to my blog.
