The end of 1×52
Hi there! So if you’ve been following, you know I started working on a 1×52 project earlier this year. After about 14 weeks, I’ve decided to drop the project, as it’s no longer a good fit with my goals.
The idea of the 1×52 project was to launch a new project – usually a website, but maybe a piece of code or some other exploration – every single week, for a year. I did get some amazing things out of this project, including:
- Motivation to keep producing new websites, new content
- Explored GitHub publishing
- Explored the Mechanical Turk as a way of getting website feedback
- Practiced launching sites I wasn’t completely happy with <- This one was huge!
I’ve decided to stop the project, because it’s left me with lots of loose ends. As a multipotentialite, I’ve always had lots of different projects going, anyway. While the 1×52 project was a great push to get me to actually publish these projects, it’s time to focus in on a few projects, and make them really-super-awesome. To keep my commitment to publishing, I’m going to try to publish posts on this site every Monday and Thursday - and in the meantime, I’ll be chugging away at either personal projects, or YRB projects.
Speaking of YRB – my web development business, Yellow Rubber Ball – I’ve just added WordPress Coaching to my list of services! Want to learn how to create, maintain, and customize a WordPress blog, and become a digital nomad yourself? I’d love to help!
Thanks, Sarah! It was a challenge for sure… love the idea of a 1×12 with more time for each project. Can’t wait to see what you create if you do decide to do it!
I’m amazed and impressed that you managed it for 14 weeks! I never even got started.
I still love the concept. I wonder if maybe I’ll do a 1×12 in 2012.
Congrats on the YRB expansion!
