Reflections Along The Journey

If you’ve been following my blog at all over the past month or so, you’ll have noticed that I’ve been changing it around a bit. Okay … a lot. Too much. It seems like every other day I try out a new design. I can’t help it … I’m addicted to finding just the right design for this blog. I need help. I need an intervention. Or, I just need a good design.

Do you ever get that way with something. You know it’s not bad, but it could be better. Maybe it’s something you’re doing on your bike. Or renovations on your house. A paper you are doing for work or school. A hobby you enjoy (like me and web stuff).

How do you say, “enough!” Or do you? Do you wait until you’ve finally got it perfect, or will you settle for less than that once you know you’ve spent enough time on something? For me, it’s easy to settle for less than perfect on something I’m not passionate about. But when it comes to the areas that I would consider my hobbies – the things I do just for the fun of it, I find it very hard to say, “enough.”

Let’s hear your thoughts.

    Well to answer your question, I think the answer is found in the definition of the word hobby – “An activity that one enjoys doing in one’s spare time” . So the key is 1/ ENJOYMENT- does your constant changing your website bring you enjoyment, or has it become an all consuming obession 2/ SPARE TIME – that connects with my previous point, can you limit this activity to your spare time, or are you allowing it to dominate you.
    I think for your readers it can add nice variety, but maybe a compromise is work with it off line till you are content with your final piece.
    BTW I still don’t like the pix of you, sorry.
