You talked about having the right tools to finish projects. What tool or thing did you get that you thought might be a single use, but has been just generally useful?

@Zack Freedman My biggest obstacle on getting projects done is finding time between all of the other things I have going on around the house. Any tips on getting projects done when you have just a bit of time each day?

mhgwilliams1:43 PM
@Zack Freedman Do you try to learn concepts during projects or before you start them?

sami1:43 PM
@redleader36 yes i did and it did help me but i want to force myself to create my own thing to learn a bit more thanks ;)

Joseph Cole1:44 PM
Hi, Do you sketch your ideas out or outline your steps before you begin your projects?
