Observations: I ran into a few speedbumps over the last few days, ate a few things I should not have. That said, I am making up for it as best I can, and I have mostly conformed to the original plan. The issue that caused me to veer off course was time more than anything […]

Sometimes people lose motivation. You decide you want to do something, you start doing it, but then the initial excitement dies down and you quit. For example, sometimes you stop working on your website. I like to think lost motivation happens to all of us, but I can only speak from personal experience. This blog […]
