The importance of reflection

Organization, persistance, and endurance are typically my weakpoints when it comes to development. I have a virtual graveyard of projects that never got completed, but each time I failed to bring a project to fruition, I feel like I learned a lesson. One of the lessons i've learned is that it pays to keep lots of notes. Goals, ideas, thoughts, everything. To that end, I decided to start keeping a journal detailing the progress of my current progress, tentatively titled TD Invasion. It's helped out a lot, so far, and i'd reccomend that anyone at least try and keep up something similar for their own projects. I've been using the Google page creator, if only just for ease and simplicities sake.

The journal is here if anyone cares to see an example of what i'm babbling about.

I had exactly the same idea a while ago, but I am busy with another project.
I look forward to hear more about this!
