Be more like Da Vinci

We went to an imitation “Da Vinci” museum on the touristy side of Florence. There were countless experiments and inventions there I’d never heard of or seen. The guy definitely had ADHD. He’s iconic now, for good reason, given his contributions to math and science. Truly passionately curious.

I think of this as I worry I worry about spending my time “efficiently” on the “right” things, not “too many” things.11. I want to write, draw, take photos, learn to surf, learn to play guitar, continue growing as a coder.

Curious, I looked up how Da Vinci supported himself during his lifetime and it turns out he was constantly debt-riddled, often distracted and fequently delaying and abandoning comissions and projects; but mostly supported himself through patronage. He was hired to do work across both art and engineering. Be more like Da Vinci! Make for yourself! Think of all his sketches. Just keep making things and (shamelessly) sharing them with others at all steps of the way.
