Never take on too much May 27, 2008
In the world of web developing, it’s very easy to have an idea, develop it, start a design then snap! Another idea! Quickly, got to hurry on the new one now. Repeat that over and over. At the end of the day, the result is: a bunch of half finished websites and apps that will take ages to clean up and get launched. This is a serious problem if you’re always thinking of new ideas. On the other hand, if you have the time, perhaps it is worth it to think of all the ideas and develop them, because one day, you might just come accross that killer idea that in 500 years people will be remembering. An idea like Google or Facebook.
Unfortunately though, most people don’t have all the time in the world, so constantly developing new ideas every week simply isn’t feasable. From now on I am refusing to take on any new ideas that come to me (unless they really the idea), and I will concentrate soley on a certain few apps/websites/projects. Once they’re finished I might try actually developing and promoting those sites, rather than hopping straight onto the next project. Do you take on too many projects? Pehaps you should consider a stronger focus on a certain few…

Links
I no longer use del.icio.us, because it's unorganized. I use bookmarks, an app by me, for me! Of course, anyone can use it too though. It's unfinished, to work it you'll need a Kerplunc Account, register one here.
When I get around to making such a thing, latest links will magically reappear :)
