Start-Up Success: Play Pictionary

Cat Drawing…or Charades, or Scrabble or even - gee - I dunno, Candyland. Just Play.
This past weekend, I was at a party with people I don’t know very well. We played Pictionary - not only was it good old-fashioned live social networking fun - it was fascinating to watch how people’s brains work. (And, how truly badly some people draw, heh.That’s a cat???”)

Any time y’all find yourselves at a dead end, frustrated with a project, starting to scream at each other (or at yourself if you’re the sole proprietor) - Stop! Go play. It’ll get your brain to working in different ways (and a little fun helps in more ways than one - lessens the tensions, increases the communications.)

If you’d like to leave a comment, please do so. It may take a bit to show up since I hate making people type in little letters (I can’t read most of them myself) - so I moderate all comments. Feel free to disagree - debate is healthy. However, I don’t allow anonymous comments (If you can say it, you should own it) and I’ve blacklisted the worst obscenities, including the “f” word, as part of the troll wall.
