When you hit the sweet spot in your golf swing, you don't have to swing super hard to hit a great shot.
I see too many freelancers "swinging hard" and not getting great results.
What does "hitting the sweet spot" look or feel like for you?

It is straight up dangerous that the + key is right next to DELETE! (at least on Mac)
I'm just trying to zoom into my After Effects timeline and oops, I've deleted something, but don't realize it for several hours.
Just me?

How to make hard things feel a little easier...
1. Imagine you have to give someone else advice on said thing hard thing
2. Write down 3-5 practical steps they could take
3. Write an inspiring sentiment for them
It's easier to give advice to others. So do it and then listen.

Currently on a very intense project.
Lots of OT hours and weekend work.
As the hours and the exhaustion rack up, I am focusing on my gratitude for working with an awesome team that is as support as they are hard working.
This project will wrap soon.

How do you tend to animate?
a) Move fast to get a first draft asap.
b) Build rigs, stay super organized, make everything very changeable/updateable.
Both have pros and cons.

Any other TextExpander junkies out there?
It took me way too long to create a keyboard shortcut for the words "keyboard shortcut" 😂
As a keyboard shortcut junky, I can now search for keyboard shortcuts online a tiny bit faster.
Now...

In pursuit of a stronger network, don’t overlook old contacts/friends.
You never know who they know, what they’re up to these days, or how you may have common goals you didn’t realize before.

This isn't exactly NEW anymore... but using Overlord 2 to get Figma designs into AE is SO smooth 🙌
It's making me want to ditch Illustrator and learn Figma.
Thank you @battleaxedotco.bsky.social !!!

If I could wave a magic wand, you (and I) would no longer feel like our personal value was tied at all to likes and comments on social media.
We all KNOW it.
But we also still feel the pull to check our notifications.

Their tools rule. 10/10 do recommend. They are worth every penny. Also the merch goes way harder than anything I’ve seen. And the company is made up of cool people. I don’t know what else to tell you.
Spring is here, so rejoice in the earth birthing itself anew, or take more allergy meds. Either way, 20% off all of our stuff.

I love watching YouTube video interviews of authors on their book promo podcast tour.
This is a big filter for whether I pick the book up or not.
Anybody else do this?

Creative Magnetism
It’s becoming a magnet w/ creativity… but it doesn’t stop with art.
There are infinite creative ways to show up in the world.
I don’t think most are fully harnessing our creative magnetism. But I see a beautiful world on the other side of us as a community doing that better.

It just hit me that networking is a performance art as much as it is a business tactic.
Every networking conversation is an opportunity to co-create in the moment.
You are one ingredient and the other person a second… what will be created when mixed together? It’s exciting!
