Priorities (This Is the End)

‹prev | My Chain | next ???

Effective immediately, I am breaking my chain.

I am incredibly proud of the effort that I have invested in learning over the past year and the year before. This particular chain is 245 days in a row. Every new day is a personal best. Every new day is a personal best that I will likely never surpass.

This chain is very important to me. Very important.

So, by voluntarily breaking it, I am recognizing that my priorities are shifting. For the past two years, my priorities have been:

1. Family
2. Day Job
3. Learning

With the cessation of my chain, I am effectively recognizing that my priorities are now:

1. Family
2. Day Job
3. Cool New Project

Learning obviously, will continue to be very important to me, but, in the Jim Collins tradition:

If you have more than three priorities, then you don't have any

I have an idea. It is a project about which I am passionate.

In short, it is going to be legendary.

Understanding full well the power of public commitment, I furthermore...

Commit to releasing a private beta within two weeks
Monday, October 18

And..

Commit to releasing a public beta within one month
Thursday, November 4

To make that commitment even stronger, I will directly commit to each of the Awesome Coders I Worked With to get this done (sorry in advance for the Twitter spam, guys).

See you on the other side!
