Book Review: Tick My Boxes
I can’t remember where exactly, but I came across this while browsing the web one day and it caught my attention as I’d been thinking for some time now about having a checklist for projects. And here it is. Tick My Boxes, The Web Developers’ Checklist.
Why it’s good to work on your own side projects
Whether you’re freelance, employed or a business owner, we each have our own daily routine, which usually involves doing work to please someone else, whether that someone else be a client, end user, reader etc. But every once and a while I think it’s important to work on your own projects.
As I work on my major Masters project (due December), and while doing the odd freelance job, I take inspiration from the likes of Carsonified and Contrast who have been known for their ‘drop everything else for a week’ approach to work on other projects, and I work on my own side projects.
Their approach to taking a week to focus on 1 new project (from start to finish) is great but working 1 or 2 hours a day on a side project is also beneficial.
