What I Wish I Had Known About Running a Kickstarter (in 5 words or less): Balance
Today when I got home I took of my work clothes and climbed into bed and did not get out of bed for an hour. My entire body was exhausted and I could not think straight. After an hour, I woke up and made my coffee and started to work on the Kickstarter. After even just an hour of sleep my body was rested, and I was focused again (also thanks to the suppression of adenosine which makes the body sleepy).
Taking care of my mind and body during this process is almost as important as keeping clean equipment and using high-quality raw materials for my business. Without my mind at full capacity I posted kickstarter information without working URLs, and could not wield the power of my usually articulate writing.
I think the ideal minimum components for a healthy and functioning body are things like: Adequate Sleep, Water, and Healthy Food.
I had instead been operating with: No Sleep, Coffee, and Barbecue Chips.
So I crashed--6 days in
But I recovered. I drank water, I had a nice dinner, and I got 6 hours of sleep instead of 3. Today I feel tired, but with a clear mind. I am writing to people,. hitting up blogs for exposure, and reconnecting with friends. It seems doable. Tomorrow, I am taking Janelle on a date and we are going to eat nice food and talk about our days.
After our date, I am getting back on my computer,and gonna be turning out work like Sauruman did Orthanc.
