When my home church included sermon notes in the bulletin every Sunday, the notes would always end with this question:
Lord, what am I do in response to your word today?
As I was sitting on the bus waiting to go from San Francisco to Oakland, I thought about this, and it reminded me of how one of my desires in life is to constantly learn and not to be satisfied with “good enough.”
Leaping off of that, what I’ve decided to do is write every day about something new that I’ve learned and how I can apply that to circumstances or situations in the future. That’s it, it’s as simple as those two things.
What did I learn today?
Now that I ask myself that question, I realize that I learned so much. Let me rephrase that question.
What did I learn today that I want to remember?
That question doesn’t deviate much from the one before it, I wish I could remember everything. Let me try again.
What did I learn today that I want to share on Tumblr?
There are designers who focus less on the nuances of their typography and more on the richness of their content.
This is something I’m going to examine and remind myself of constantly.
It’s important that I don’t get stuck in a rut trying to kern a single word while the rest of what I’m working on demands attention. I need to become my own client and set hard deadlines for myself, otherwise things won’t get done as I waste time on details that will pall in comparison to other things.
But with that being said, the details are always important.
