Project Whuuuush
Few days ago I have really big problem. I already work some time on one big project with few of guys that will give me chance to live as freelancer. And I was stuck. Documentation is bad, examples not what I need and it was a few day of frustration in a row.
During that period I was trying different approaches to my problem as mini project and all this mini project has horribly unexciting and unhappy names like Test.
After a few days I know I must do something different and somehow when next attempt was begin I name it Whuuuush. This simple action change everything. Because of this unconventional name I start to think unconventional, without pressure and my happiness is restored. And results are follow. Yeeeeeeeees.
So when you start some project give him some creative and unconventional name, but don’t stop one that. My next mini project was project ZoomZoom. I unleash my creativity even further with him by creating very unconventional user interface that make me happy. It’s demo project of some technologies and no one will use him so I can do this but even if you do some “serious” project good idea is make it look unconventional and pleasing to you and when you done then change stuff that must be serious. You will be more productive.
