A Hapless update celebrating the end of MyCoWriMo (also my birthday "picnic" which went pretty well even though we're left with like billion years of Points(tm) worth of food)

So, how was you guys November? (nb by "failed" I mean "Did really badly")

Hmm, maybe you should have set yourself the goal of releasing one demo, I like to set goals which are only slightly more taxing than what I usually do or it's all too scary (I could never do nanowrimo for example, with my current rate of one short story draft every 5 years or so...)

Makes sense. I was hoping to force some scope reduction - if I plan a one month project it tends to be overly grandiose. But that's probably putting the cart before the horse; I just need to make more sensible plans in the first place.

Yeah, my Phd was one long process of learning to go from setting the goals I "should" be able to do, to setting goals I was actually capable of (as well as coming to terms with the fact that I'm just not capable of being as productive as I would like. And then trying to explain this to my workaholic supervisor..)

Sounds very worthwhile.

Bastard supervisors. All of them.
