  1. It has been feeling rather messy and unorganized. A lot of the things I was planning on doing I didn't get to so I'll be trying to get those items done in the next work session. I felt rather anxious during this first installment since I was overthinking certain steps and that threw me off my timeline. So for my future sessions I am going to do my best to keep things simple and get the basic things working before I think about any other details.
  2. Right now I don't think I'll be able to get everything I want accomplished in 3 installments. So I will end up creating more after the challenge ends.
  3. I was writing a lot more code than I usually do when I wrote notes in the past. As I was writing notes, I was making sure to jot down the examples to revisit them later.
  4. There's definitely a lot of prep work that is going into the topic I picked. I think I'm doing myself a favor by just creating a basic quiz app, however my issue will be coming down to time as well as the prep work to having a YouTube channel. I've never made and edited a video before so a lot of my prep work is just learning how to do those things before I can push out any installments. So I don't think it is going to be easy for me to stick to the schedule I created but this first session has given me a good idea of what I can try so I get back on track.

It's cool to see you're going to do the video route! I will have to look out for your posts. 😀

I agree that this challenge has a lot of work and inner-work (then some more!) within it. If I could do any assistance with organization or sorting, I would love to help! I could share the outline/planning I have for my challenge if it would help you at all. I posted my outline planning (aka a messy idea board of sorts) in my post in this thread!

Best Wishes for the next mission to both of us!

Oh yes this challenge has a lot of work so it is hard to stay organized and stick to a schedule. It is definitely tougher for me since I am a big overthinker so I second guess myself a lot. But looking at the way your planning and writing outlining your installments has definitely helped so I have a better idea of how to approach the planning for my installments.

Oh YouTube video is a lot more tedious task then writing a blog post so all the best for your channel 😊.

I definitely relate on feeling messy and unorganized. I had to take a big step back after learning to put the article content together. It took much longer than I anticipated. Good luck on this challenge, I am rooting for you!
