The Transformative Power of Personal Projects

This video shows how powerful it is to create a project for “other people to participate and collaborate.” This is an interesting and powerful point I want to consider during my work this year. How can I design something to help people understand the news while giving them creative energy and power? How does that help? Will that help?

Lee also says “time is a concept that can be stretched.” I believe this is also true. We often say, I simply do not have time. But, this year, I put a dry erase board in our hallway and each day pose a simple question. Somehow, my neighbors and finds can always find just a few seconds to think and ponder to write something. And then, when you are rushing out the door, with simply no time at all, you can stretch 30 seconds to write a quick note. Lee argues if you work on something you love, you can create three more hours if you need them.
