Work hard… Work fun

A couple of days ago, I was sitting with a fistful of my favourite markers, scetching away, in a room decorated with flipovers and post-its. My head was humming with ideas and I was perfectly relaxed. And I thought to myself, "somebody is actually paying me to do this!"

It was a really nice feeling. My worklife seems have become an extension of my natural likings.

I found this drawing from my childhood. It's a representation of a game I played with my friend Steen at the age of 11. It is a detailed plan of my future house. You can se the annotated version on flickr by clicking at the picture.

Steen and I could spend hours hunched over our drawing pads planning all kinds of elaborate schemes. We were always building - making prototypes - of imagined worlds. So I seem to be right back where I started. :)

It's a nice feeling to be running on your preferred fuel. Mileage is a lot better. But best of all... your head is clear.

Only problem right now is to refrain from working all the time.

What did you like doing when you We're a kid?
