I’m a big fan of the strategy of work on the projects that will get most of the work done first, and then polish off the final details at the end. However, today I was doing an assignment that doesn’t really let me progress in this order. This caused a lot of stress just in the fact that A. it felt like I wasn’t getting anything done, B. I can’t check to see if I did it right until after I get the whole project done, and C. counting little squares is a really easy way to lose count. Sometimes though you have to do those things that take a lot of time to not see a lot of work because the finishing details are the important details.
