First thing’s first: I didn’t hit the deadline. I didn’t honestly expect to, but it was worth a shot, and I think just considering the project in terms of a deadline helped guide my efforts in the right direction –…
The end of June and beginning of July were dominated by travel, several trips in quick succession over about 3 weeks, over which I made very little progress on the project: Perhaps a few ideas popped up, a plan or…
It feels like progress has really slowed down recently. I think that has a lot to do with what sorts of work on the project feel like progress and which don’t. A lot of the last week or so has…
