The middle can be the hardest part of a project. My dad taught me not to make a list of tasks until a project is almost finished and you don't want to forget the last few details. (Don't do the math on how many thousand screws you have to put in the deck boards - just start!) As a girl, I would keep going in anything until I knew I was well past a halfway point before stepping back to measure progress, so I wouldn't get stuck.

I started my project with an overview document outlining the features I wanted in my new app. I could make notes of the next few steps I didn't want to forget or anything else I needed. Now I'm officially at the "make a list" stage, working through my sticky note of things to finish before polishing up the app for real users.

I'm sure there will be more I don't see yet, but I'm nearing the goal of version 1.0.0! Most of the features I want in the first release are built - now it's testing and filling in the missing details!
