Ideate romantically, create pragmatically

This will be my mantra from now on. I feel tentative but life is too short for us not to do what we love.

1. Take Hackdesign.org online course to change the way I see the world.
2. Read somerandomdude.com to get motivated about switching from a technical field to a creative field. Borrow Tip #11 and adopt it as my mantra.
3. Take General Assembly's 10-week course on User Experience Design to learn how to problem solve, and give users what they need and want through good design.
4. Make it a hobby.
5. Make it a passion.
6. Make it a career.

As much as I dreaded my first day of work as a financial auditor nine years ago, when I was told that I had to document everything I did at work, I've learned that documentation and communication is the core of every field. Not only will it be a way to hold myself accountable for the goals that I've set for myself, but I see it as a way for me to share what I've learned, and hopefully share my future creations with the world.

Here's to the journey. Ideate romantically, create pragmatically.
