July's goal-I created a simple prototype but from process and error I came to the conclusion that the product needs to be more appealing. So...
For the month of August-
1. Create another prototype of my product that is more appealing to the consumer. Done
2. Finish books that I started in late July. Done
3. Enjoy the rest of my summer vacation- :urock2: Almost Done
