Cwmbach and pushing through the barrier…

My good friend Chris has recently shared a lovely piece about his experience overcoming procrastination on his blog - and it chimed strongly with me, for I have been trying to exercise the same practices here with a few of my projects…

Progress - what can I do that doesn’t need a clear end game?

The source of inaction may be subtlety different, in my case, thinking I have an end result in mind without actually knowing quite what this is… the colour and texture of the ballast and groundwork around the track being my indecision… and if I don’t know what the end result needs to be of course whilst I think I know the steps I’m working through (wiring, track painting, ballasting) I will begin to slow, to question.

Indeed, it was pushing through this and painting the sleepers, ground and hence rails that helped me recognise this - because now, with this stage complete, I have a base to experiment with - to help shape and adjust course based upon the results. I suppose an alternate path might have been to create a test piece, to get to the same place - a canvas on which to try the next part of the painting.

Until next time, more soon…
