So, yesterday I posed the question: should I spread myself out amongst multiple projects? In organizing my thoughts on this topic, I listed the projects that I’m involved in. The list is quite long, and now that I’m looking at it, I’m trying to figure out the projects I should cut down on.
The question that I’m facing is this: Which of these projects would take up the most time (if I were keeping up with all of them), and which ones am I most committed to?
| Project | Time per Week | Committment |
|---|---|---|
| Drawing/Sketching | 2.5 hours | Very strong |
| Teaching Redemption | 1.5 hours | Pretty strong |
| Points of View | 1 hour | Strong on paper, weak in practice |
| The |
10 minutes | Moderate |
| 3 hours | Moderate | |
| Playing the piano and violin | 2 hours | Moderate |
| Kamidake | Less than 1 hour | Moderate |
| Writing | 2 hours | Weak to moderate |
| AtheDocs | Half an hour, maybe | Weak to moderate |
| Gardening | 4 hours | Fairly weak |
| AtheOS programming | 6 to 8 hours | Weak. It’s fun, but not hugely appealing. |
| BeOS programming | 6 to 8 hours | Weak |
Well. From this chart, it’s pretty clear that I should abandon my attempts at programming. Thinking back, I realize that I rarely complete the
I’m going to keep gardening, because that’s partly therapeutic. I don’t need to stop writing, either; I can take a vacation from writing without hurting anyone. AtheDocs doesn’t require much time, nor does Kamidake.
And I’m pretty strongly committed to the rest of this list, so I guess I should focus on closing down my spurious programming projects.
Anything else going on? Well, AIC has announced that the third Tenchi Muyo! OVA will be released next spring, concurrent with a new
Miyazaki’s new film, Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi, opened July 20th and drew a 20% larger audience than Princess Mononoke on its first weekend. Good to hear. I can’t wait to see it over here.
