Someone once told me to design my life, that was the best advice I ever got. Having a beautiful view is designing my life. Have a commute that’s a walk down the block. Choosing not to work in a glass cube with a view of a brick wall. It’s being closer to nature… Breathing fresh air. Sleeping well. Playing well… I don’t have too many clients or the wrong mix of clients. Because I can work at a pace I’m comfortable with, I can excel at what I do. I love what I’m doing.—Design Declarations

I like this. Nice, simple way to think about it. Particularly as I begin this new phase of my life.

Thanks for the link to my Design Declarations article. That quote has been one of my favorites for years… something I often return to when I’m trying to remember where I’m headed.
