I'm really liking this Dougie
Here's one of my worst mistakes in the beginning. When I started, the more I learned the more I got excited about working on this stuff. Everything I learned, I wanted to do - so I would start something and midway I would find something else that excited me and I wanted to attempt doing, so the first one got stuck on the backburner while I attempted something else.
I would find myself with 10 'projects' started and none completed. When I'd look back, I would say 'damn, I wasted time on this and it's not going to work'. My husband knew my faults so he would stop me in my excited frenzy. The deal then became that I could start new things only if I had automated or facilitated the last one for him to continue.
