I really enjoy her approach to creating websites. I think the way she tackled it allowed her to progress quickly and understand a ton by the end.

    Having a strict, one day deadline was also helpful in maintaining rapid progress. Having to produce something everyday forced me not to get hung up on understanding all the details of how something worked.

When I tried to create a small website, I got stuck on the small details. With no deadline, I wanted everything to be perfect. Her plan forced her to overcome that and I think I'll try something like that soon.

On the flip side, I don't know how she had time for this everyday for 180 days. That's a ton of hours that I really don't have time for.
