As this project progresses, the complexity starts to creep in. I am now at the point where I can start thinking about persistent data stores and game logic.

The ability to make decisions quickly allows you to make more decisions and learn from them. Learning from people more successful than me has been a blessing. They often make 10s of decisions daily. I struggle with making decisions which often results in what I have called "analysis paralysis.

#053 - When to push on someone

I started a kitchen renovation in May of this year. For the most part it has been a great experience. To see the change from an outdated and poorly laid out room to a useful, beautifully designed kitchen makes me feel great. I now have a kitchen that encourages me
