    Path to creating a digital product

    NOTABLE! 
    Wow! Almost finished! I had a day off work last week and blazed through a ton of bugs. I'd get so far if I did this every day all day. I can feel my skills levelling up, I'm looking at old code and grimacing at it, fixing like it's no problem and my UI design is 100x better. No longer terrified...

    Trying to loose weight (not succeeding )

    HEALTH 
    Everyone giving all these long answers... you just need to eat less and move more. - Lift weights - Cut out junk food - Eat lean meat & fish, and green vegetables Personally, cutting out grains leaned me out completely, sorted out any inflammation and loss of energy. I wouldn't cut out meat...

    Done last week Bugs with the website (I'm viewing the whole thing as the product, including the marketing, not just the app) Rewrote a feature to take less space, less DB calls, make the user's account more customizable and better for privacy Looked up studies on products like mine, seems like...

    Is Marriage Part of the Script?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I'm not even in a relationship, but if I ever end up getting to the point of marriage, I want it to be as unofficial as possible. No stupid large dress, no dumb piano music, F*cking doves, pink invitations, speeches. The F*ck is that shit. You don't need a contract to stay together if you're in...

    What's your Lambo? What's your WHY or PURPOSE?

    NOTABLE! CHAT 
    Freedom -- not worrying about whether I'll be fired and not being tied to a 9-5. I'd like to travel and spend my entire time learning new things just for the sake of it and experiencing life (because you only get one try to see what it's all about, and this world is more than a cubicle or the...

    The Benefits of College (other than making you more likely to get a job)

    HOT! 
    The experience? I wouldn’t pay thousands a year for an experience though. Delaying independence another 4 years? Making your parents not hate you? Lol okay in all seriousness, the only benefit would be if you needed a degree to work in a field that NEEDS one and if that career is 100% your...

    Done this week Basic membership implementation (sandbox testing is a nightmare and not representative of how it'll look in production) Bugs Moved from pen and paper to-do list to Trello as tasks became too much to keep track of To do next week Allow multiple memberships on one device (iTunes...

    Do you take your work home with you? (Slowlane Jobs)

    SLOWLANE 
    I work from home as a web developer, so I sometimes work on my business during work hours lol rather than the other way around. However sometimes I have a lot of work and I’m tempted to work overtime. A few weeks ago I did this (can’t afford to be fired just yet) and I felt terrible, never...

    100%. I used to be obsessed with starting courses and learning things just because "they might make me money some day". I like the rush of doing something new with the excuse that it will pay out some day. I'm so happy I didn't just continue trudging through courses waiting to feel ready.

    Hah, also forgot to mention. Just told my dad I finished an app and he told me I need many many years of education and extreme genius ("which you're not") and maybe then I can think about starting some business in the future. So I've finished something and he's saying I can't build the very...

    UI overhaul complete, integrated notifications. Just the membership now, found a nice set of videos and should be done with that in a week. Then what's left is: make fonts, colors, etc consistent remove bugs add in crash reports and analytics send to beta testers! This weekend I improved the...

    Definitely, especially when you've got a working product in front of you and you know you did all of it :)

    It's done! Well, nearly. First draft is done. Now I need to integrate membership and lock down any non-member content, fix the UI, and test it.

    Work has been incredibly stressful. Recently they've started piling projects on me and demanding more and more as if I'm some genius robot that can churn out results without a break. I'm exhausted and have missed my deadline for finishing the app. So I just said F*ck it and took a week off in...

    Journey to location independence and $10k a month

    EXECUTION 
    I missed out a major part of what made me give the idea up -- it's not fastlane. Everyone and their grandma has a web dev company. There are a ton of shitty websites but there are also a ton of web devs, and a ton of pissed off business owners who don't want people ringing up their ears about...

    Thanks :) Almost finished, actually. Last feature is being implemented today, then it's wiring up the membership stuff. After that it's just polishing the designs and smoothing out bugs.

    Journey to location independence and $10k a month

    EXECUTION 
    Hah, yeah I didn't think it through/research enough when starting it out. I read Fox's thread and fell into the typical trap of following ideas that others have done successfully that seem easy. Fox was successful because he's good at the communication part and can effectively communicate the...

    Obliterated a few of the bugs I was struggling on! This weekend I started and finished a feature that I thought would take me at least a week. It's easily the most addicting part of the app and I love how it turned out! I'm still surprised at how I managed to finish it so swiftly without any...
