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. 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.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.
Know that feeling all too well; I am classically guilty of "I want to do XYZ!", initially starting, then getting caught up with work/life, then going "I totally want to do ABC!".
Repeat ad infinitum, and then I have multiple, concurrent, unfinished projects haha.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.
Oh man, hear you loud and clear. I used to draw and a spot of painting; haven't for years, then got an idea of a bitchin' painting; bought a large canvas, sketched basics, but couldn't find particular paint I needed. I then bought an old Mac Mini to try out iOs app development. Turns out I didn't research enough, and got a Core Duo, when I needed a Core 2 Duo to install ML. That project took over this week... On the plus, I'm changing role at work in a fortnight and will be on a roster with 4 day weekends. Here's hoping I get some projects actually finished haha.
