Hugh was my inspiration for realizing I didn't need to worry about my artistry. You are right...the change feels good on many levels. I spent about 10 minutes today just looking at my "new" place and smiling approvingly. Thanks Oleg. Hugh was my inspiration for realizing I didn't need to worry about my artistry.

I wasn't in a feng shui frame of mind when I did it, but there was probably a good element of it present. I like that freecycle idea too. I really hate to part with my books, but I do have some that are definitely not going to be read again. I'm sure others might want to "See Spot Run." Some good ideas there.

Want to be more positive? Entrepreneurial? Location-independent? Fit? Start being around those types of people.

On the same tip, when you're working or creating, a change of environment will do wonders to spark ideas and effectiveness. Whether it's making your surroundings more inspiring or efficient, or simply having something new to excite you, change the environment.

A stale environment breeds stale ideas and creations.

Also, I've been meaning to comment on how awesome I think your drawings are. It's truly a remarkable touch – I only know of Hugh MacLeod who does something similar (you mentioned he's an inspiration). Makes QuitBit stand out.

But personal drawings won't do any good if they suck. And yours most certainly don't. In fact, this latest one had me laughing out loud. Seriously. Web-comic worthy stuff, Dean.

Best,
Oleg

PS. Hilarious “plumber butt” bit.

Another good idea - declutter. Throw out anything - clothes, books, mugs, underwear, you do not absolutely love! I removed three car loads - two to the wonderful English institution of Charity Shops (I like Help the Aged) and one more to the tip! What is on the bookcase - are there books there you will reread or should you pass them on? There's a website called Freecycle here where you list the stuff you are going to throw out and people come and take it away for you...and you can pick up cool stuff like the new garden table I'm going to get...if I can find suitable transport.
