In our August post<\/a> I announced imitone’s move from a (largely) solo project to a small team.  In the past, I’ve been warned that for the first year or so this would actually put me further behind \u2014 new people need to become familiar with the project as we work out a system of communicating and assigning tasks.  This has proven true… but to be honest, another year of spreading myself thin hasn’t been so different from what came before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can’t really say whether 2020 has been a good year or a bad one for this transition.  I can<\/em> say it has been a strange, exhausting year.  For me, this had little to do with remote work and day-to-day isolation (which are normal parts of a nomadic lifestyle).  Instead, it was a lack of disruptions \u2014 situations that ordinarily pull me away from my work, providing an opportunity to stop and reflect on how things are going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cycles are powerful.  Deep, solitary work goes hand in hand with a gradual loss in perspective.  And so the support of a team is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
