Comment on Ask HN: I'm taking 2 weeks off work to build a prototype. Any advice?

Comments

Scope the entire project into half days worth of work, aim at being in flow for 2-3 hours in each block. (Unless you are not used/trained in being in flow, then the pomodore technique might be better for you)

Lay out the entire 20ish blocks and post them here/email to your friends and family or to some other entrepreneurs that you do not want to dissapoint by not getting stuff done.

Every day, update the post/email with a status, did you get the blocks done and if not why not, what did you learn and what will you do differently tomorrow?

Good luck!

Cool Idea! that structure works pretty nicely for me actually. I'll give it a go thanks pal!

Feel free to email me if you think I can help you in any way!
