I have low standards when it comes to myself and my sites I think. I don’t put as much time, planning, documentation, etc., into them as the sites I create for my clients. This is probably pretty bad when I would love to be able to be in a position to pick and choose my clients more because hopefully I’ll have a good monthly income coming in from my sites. Here are a couple of examples of this.
Instead of building admin panels for my sites, it just don’t worry about it because I know I can manage the content directly in the database. But this does slow things down a little bit and over time and could amount to the time it would have taken to just write an admin panel.
I think I’ve written any kind of design document for ONE of my sites…oh and this site isn’t finished yet. I wanted to have it done by November 2005.
It’s hard to battle these low standards, or laziness when you want to get something up fast and you’re short on time. Logically I know what I should do and if a friend came to me and told me this story, i would have plenty of advice to offer them. I just wish I could take my own advice. /rant
