I've always had more ideas than hours in the day. Starting things was never the problem. Finishing them was. Every planner, app and system I tried worked for a week, then quietly fell apart.

So I started building my own. First came a notebooks and Notion lists that showed all my projects in one calm place. Then came 3D models I designed and printed to solve small problems around my desk. Along the way I wasted a lot of filament, abandoned half-finished projects, and learned more from the failures than the wins.

Somewhere in the middle, I realized the things I was making for myself were useful to other people too. That's how the makers guide, the project board and the model collection will end up soon in my shop.

Now in the future I'm working on my biggest project yet: a physical clock that works with how my brain works, not against it. It is in the early idea and prototype phases, but I am making progress.

I share every step of the process, including the messy parts. If that sounds like your kind of thing, stick around.
