Q: I'm trying to learn Debussy's L'isle Joyeuse over the summer, attempting to make a karaoke track to "and the day goes on" with a DS soundfont I have, digitizing a Bible of sorts (not religious) with cool layout, pictures, and design, making a movie with
 my frie
nd starring King Lear, and creating computer programs to help with scheduling. (There's a circle here somewhere...) Oh, and writing college essays. The sad thing is, there is more than enough time to do all this stuff, and more time to do more, during the summer. I know this. Everything would be great if I actually worked on it, instead I'm not. And I know the answer to this is that I'm on the right track, or that there is a tipping point. It's just so frustrating, and scary, because I don't know if I want to see myself if I ever go past that tipping point.  I don't want to be boxed into everything. But I'm kind of wondering if I do need some sort of box to be able to continuously work on stuff.
A: i think you will find that the box is just going to be your name. you. i know it's tempting to live a thousand parallel creator's lives, but there's barely enough time to live 1. so i think an umbrella strategy might ultimately work best for you here. as soon as you get fully comfortable with the fact that you are mr. do-it-all, you can start treating yourself like a king and just plan the task sequence from there.
