Sometimes (often) I get stuck in a project muddle. Especially during the year of massive delays.
A new watch design or project idea lights me up and I dig deep.

Play on.
And people might laugh. They might hate it. They might fall asleep. They might run. They might misunderstand.
Those who matter will get it. They’re the ones who matter.

Don’t give up. Give it away.
