I'm a n00b in CSS, Java, HTML... you name it, I'm a n00b. But that's why my Twitter Follow-to-Follower ratio is way wacked. Because I'm following 700+ web/graphic designers/typographers, simply because I can't get enough of the information. Anything they'll give me, I want it... It keeps me going. Most of the time... See, I've been kinda blaaaaah myself, too. It's difficult, because I let a lot of outside things inspire me. I shouldn't let situations and circumstances affect my creativity, but what do I do when my best work is a result of a bright morning, 65 degrees.... or a busy coffeehouse atmosphere... especially a place with a warm, New York flair. My other favorite place is my job... I work at an Orchard. I get so many ideas there. But with this cold dreary weather... I'm depressed, and then not to mention my un-motivated, 35-going-on-14 year-old classmates :( How to I NOT let these things get to me? How can I train myself to do my best work, even in an unsatisfactory environment??? Sometimes, I try to use "learning new things" as a mode for motivation, but sometimes, I don't even WANT to start something, knowing I'll be too "blaaaaah" to finish :( Wed, 12 May 2010 12:51:17 +0000 http://www.nikibrown.com/designoblog/2010/05/11/pushing-yourself-to-learn/#IDComment75054570
