WHAT I'M WORKING ON
Je ne sais pas
For those that don't know: it's French for "I don't know". It's an unexpected answer to what I'm working on, unless you know I'm on holiday with the family!
Yet, I do like to try and explain how holidays work for my creativity. Normally, I'm behind my MacBook almost every day. With AI Agents, I'm often triggering small tasks based on creative ideas whenever I have the chance. Now, on a holiday, I try to stay away from work as much as possible.
Is that even possible?
No, not really. I always check my mail. It's part of running a solo business: emails won't be answered unless I act. We're closing a few large enterprise deals with RocketSim, and I can't simply permit letting those sit and wait for two weeks.
At the same time, my creativity sparks. By slowing down so much, I actually speed up by getting a clearer vision of what I want to work on next. Stepping out of the bubble is so important and the best way to reset. What seemed like a priority before my holiday suddenly became a small part of what I should actually prioritize.
Small notes, reminders, and TODO emails to myself (yes, that's how I plan sometimes, oops), I find a way to capture the creative results, preparing myself for a productive summer ahead.
