A Week in Tokyo 51 Part 1
Extreme lack of quality time to sit down and write of late. Rather get at least the first half out so for am going to split this installment of A Week in Tokyo into 2 parts.The problem is that I want to sustain the momentum that has been building up of late in for our business - don't want to end up in the pits like we did last year. There has been so many offers of work, collaborations and media appearances that it can be difficult to decline or prioritize. Am certainly biting off more than I can chew.
Did however make the decision to drop a huge project today to concentrate on others - not sure how much time it will free up though ^^;At the moment we are building web platforms, manufacturing mirai-chan merchandise, registering trademarks, working on publications, doing a lot of TV production of late, organizing schedules for overseas trips and setting up events in Tokyo too. Have also been working on setting a Guinness World Record where the application is being processed now.
Also need to spend time with the media folks who want interviews. Today alone I've got the Brazilian TV show Fantastico interviewing me at the office and then following me to TBS where I've got another interview.
NHK are also need to do a feature on me so to save time, I've asked them to film me being filmed by the Brazilian TV crew ^^;
There is also the Tokyo.JapanTimes launch party tonight night too.
Tis always a tough schedule but a load of fun. Particularly looking forward to seeing the TBS studios today.Another interesting thing that's been happening of late is that I'm getting job offers from other companies and headhunters. A major Japanese game contacted me and asked me to be their CTO - no interview needed ^^; I could take the rather nice package but I wouldn't be doing what I wanted in life and life is certainly too short. Money is great for improving the comfort level of life but it certainly isn't everything and I cant take it to the grave. What I'm seeking from life at the moment is not money but achievement.
