[…] It may be that my projects list works where my goal-setting didn’t because I lean towards right-brained creative more than left-brained analytical (though I can do the left-brained thing reasonably well).

I’m a “hippie geek.” Tune in. Turn on. Two of my favorite folks I’ve ever worked with fell into the nerd category, too. They painted the art. I simply helped frame it for them.
