I know people who are active everywhere, in various sectors. I was overactive too until I talked to human resources and personal branding experts. They told me I should focus on things I like the most, things that I wanna work with in the future. After some balancing between the ambitions Art and blogging were the main answers, and that’s what I’m doing right now, here on DwA.
Photo by Tom Watson. He is currently a product designer for Facebook, designing their mobile products. Tom is an (I don’t like this word) amateur photographer too. I’ve found this photo on his Virb profile, which inspired me to write this article.
There is a situation when you have to drop some habits and start thinking about the future if you care about your career. I suggest you to write down the list of what you’ve done and what you are planning to do. For example, my plan was to start a new blog and connect my main passions art and blogging. First of all I wrote my blogging plan for 2010 and started working on design. After one month Die without Art (DwA) was born as my today’s *full-time* activity.
DwA’s main mission is to help *unknown* artists by publishing their stories/works. Maybe I can help you to find the audience, feel free to submit (submit@diewithoutart.com).
You don’t have to write a blog like me, just be yourself and follow your inside voice(s), you will not regret it. Good luck.

Wow, I like your thinking. This post is what we all need, sometimes. Do what you love, and love what you do. …but the main problem is that people, the 99% of them, just don't know what to do or don't know what they like. Life is floating near them, that's sad. Great writing, D.
I agree with you Katharina. People have problem, a big one, with themselves.
You called me “D”? Cool. Thank you for the kind words about my thinking and writing.
