What the Heck am I doing?

SciShow Tangents...seriously!! podcasts.apple... or wherever you get your podcasts!!
The Arizona State University collaboration is so exciting because it's really made clear to me a lot of failings of higher education. There are SO MANY PEOPLE whose higher ed experience involves loans but no degree. There are better ways to do this...to include more people, to lower costs, to lower barriers to knowledge. It's super exciting.
Also, for the people who got this far...yes, I do occasionally have a meeting about whether my books could ever someday be turned into a TV show or something...but as you probably have learned by now...that means nothing!!! Right now, it's just a fun time for people to tell me how much they like my work :-).
And for people who got THIS far...I messed up my camera settings...sorry it looks weird...

As a person who's "laserlike focus" comes and goes, or rather, is sporadic and spotty at the best of times, I feel you... Having many times too many irons in the fire, I've come to reckon with the reality that "perfect" or even "very close" is often well out of reach... I do things WELL... No more and no less. That's the goal, and sometimes there must be consideration given for "all things considered" and/or "for what I had to work with"... BUT I simply seek to do things "well", not half-assing the effort because "who cares?" or "what does it really matter?"... I just seek to finish each project with something I'm not outright ashamed to put my name on. Sometimes, the project is about to turn into a joke... SO I lean in and OWN the joke. I'll make it the FUNNIEST joke I can make it in the time allotted and with the materials I have left! ...if they're going to laugh anyway, I might as well put them on the FLOOR! If you want or need any wisdom/advice, for what it's worth. Such is mine. It's served me for the better over most of my life... "Seek to do things WELL." ...and that's all. ;o)

Thanks so much for your comment! Growing up, I always had a different answer every time someone asked the question "what do you wanna be when you grow up?", and I always thought I that was because I just wasn't sure about what I wanted. But seeing your comment, and having heard Hank talk about all the different things he does and has been doing over the years made me realize that the reason I've never had a definite answer to the "what do you wanna be" question isn't that I just don't know, but that I want to do lots of things! I truly never thought about that being even a possibility before, and even though I've been diagnosed and trying to make life work with ADHD for a couple of years now, your comment made me understand myself a whole lot better than I ever had before. So thanks again, from a person who's currently enrolled in two full-time studies, playing in two different orchestras a week and participating regularly in activities they've helped organanise for the student association they're involved with. 🤗

This year has just flown by, I'm aware of this, but hearing Hank say they're getting ready for the second year of the Awesome Socks Club made that hit home in a visceral way.

SAME! I love my socks, but somehow hadn't realized I have almost a year's worth of pairs yet :D WILL KEEP SUBSCRIBING IN THE NEW YEAR, FOR SURE

Excellent way to get across that sometimes great can be the enemy of good.

Hank listing the what feels like million things he is dealing with at the same time triggered my anxiety and immediately calmed it back down by being so down-to-earth and chill about them getting done, but not perfectly.

Aw Hank, Bless you and your hard working self.

Video idea: will you share how you maintain momentum with so many projects? Like calendars, apps, staff, etc. How do you organize yourself, your work flow, etc.

Twin Peaks taught me in the whirlwind of all of life's chaos, make sure that "everyday, once a day" - you treat yourself. Take care of yourself, Hank.

That last few sentences made me feel a lot better about my current busy day--all the things I have to do will not be done perfectly, but they will be done.

What's impressive is not only how much stuff this is, but also how excellent the quality of each one is.

[@veronicastapleton9001]

"Will all of these things get done? They will. Perfectly? No. But done!" This line makes me happy. It's something I tell my 5th grader nearly every day. Yes, school work is overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be perfect, just done.

This video really spoke to me! I too take on too much and am overwhelmed and miss the Apple Card slots and ports.
