The 1st draft of the "journey" arc (my term) is typed in. Needs garlic, but the best writing advice I ever heard is: "it's easier to fix crap than air". Get *something* down on paper, and it's easy to adjust from there to make something good.

The new arc includes RAS programming (Reticular Activating System), a rather surprising aspect of peoples' brains that I'll bet few have heard of. If you can program your RAS a whole world of possibilities will open up.

Also in the new arc is an explanation of the project plan. A project plan is essentially mapping out what you are going to do in a project before you actually do it, and I personally never saw any benefit of doing this in any past project (work or personal) until I learned about the neurochemistry.

All the project planning from my professional life - just about all of it - was ill-directed. If I knew then what I know now...

A well executed project plan can increase motivations, streamline the journey, and program your RAS at the same time. Also, it makes for a better (read: more valuable) project.

(I wish I'd done that with *this* project. I'm dealing with a bit of writer's block - the programming and web layout was interesting enough, and learning the psychology was interesting, but not I'm wishing I had added motivation for doing the writing.)

I have one more lesson arc, the "tuning" arc, and some of that is already done. I'm on the final stretch, and should be done soon.
