Mental Crop Rotation

When farmers grow the same crop too many years in a row, it can leave their soil depleted of minerals and other nutrients that are vital to the health of their fields.

To avoid this, farmers will often alternate the crops that they grow because some plants will use up different minerals (such as nitrogen) while other plants replenish those minerals. This process is known as “crop rotation.”

So the next time you find that you need to step away from a project to work on something else for a while, don’t beat yourself up for “quitting” that project. Give yourself permission to practice “mental crop rotation” to maintain a healthy brain field.

Because I’ve found that when that unnecessary guilt and pressure are removed from the process, a good mental crop rotation can help you feel more energized and invigorated than ever once you’re ready to rotate back to that project.

: A crucial part of crop rotation is that the field is let fallow sometimes. You plant what’s called a “cover crop”, which is something you don’t expect to harvest– it’s there for its roots to hold the soil in place, and often it’ll be what’s called a nitrogen-fixer, i.e. a plant that can pull nitrogen out of the air and fix it into the soil with its roots (but sometimes it won’t, sometimes it’s really just there to shelter the soil surface), and then you’ll till in that cover crop, or let the frost kill it and the stalks lie as mulch, and then you’ll rotate productive crops back into that field the next season. 

It’s important, though, to understand that during the fallow period, no nutrients are removed from that ground, and nothing is expected of it. Whatever the land grows then, it keeps, and it gets tilled back in or decomposes in place, to return its energy to the earth.

We’re not allowed, in our current society, to just let our minds be fallow for a bit, to produce nothing for export, to make nothing that can be sold. But it’s part of good land stewardship, to give every field time when it doesn’t need to give you anything back. 

So yes, grow and produce different things from time to time, rotate them around your mind and exercise different mental muscles, take different things from your creative processes, yes– but also, give yourself a fallow spell now and again, and let the field of your mind grow things for itself to keep, to break down and save for later.

Hello. I wanted to show you what I’m currently working on on my 3DS. Instead of WIP pic I decided to take a photo of the whole thing, that is the Colors! app and 3DS. Bonus fact: I’m testing mobile Tumblr app and I’m posting this from a tablet. Oh dear, *the fat guy in Pallet Town voice* technology is incredible!

Bildit design - a starter creature for the recently announced game Beastieball! The little guy went thru a quite long and iterative process and I'm happy I could aid with the design! Here are the concept poses of the final design😄

[twarda]

Pasted from my Tweets:

An idea: what if Sobble evolves into Water/Ghost type? Like, it looses its confidence and slowly vanish out of the existence due to its fears, complexes, and low self esteem?

One of the quick ideas: a shadow lizard. There are no tears left, only a [ghostly] fog or something. The eyes are stone. Initially I imagined it half submerged into another dimmension (but you wouldn’t see the body)

Attending gamedev conferences with your game is always both terrifying and exciting!

Yo guys! Our KS campaign is gonna end soon!

We are making a second game with dinosaurs. If you haven’t seen it/forgot to pledge then now it’s a good time to do it! Thanks for any support!

Crabs?

What’s up with Tumblr proposing me crab ads?

Did something happen? Is this a new fad?
