2011 Resolutions

Top ten planning and design resolutions for 2011

I resolve to

• never trust a survey.
• stop wearing only black.
• stop red-lining my child’s art assignments.
• not use a SWOT analysis when deciding where to go for dinner.
• talk about more than shop drawing reviews at happy hours.
• limit precedent images of Portland to three per PowerPoint.
• not make friends play frisbee or tag in a park to stage a scene for my personal precedent image library.
• give my computer the benefit of the doubt that it has not crashed, even if it has been frozen for 20 min and is making sighing noises.
• not make sound effects when using AutoCAD’s explode command.
• get offline, go outside, and experience real places with real people.
