“Ninja never quit” – Master Wu, LEGO Ninjago
I think I’ve mentioned this before, but I really struggle to “quit” or accept defeat. What I mean is, when I start a task, I will not stop until I succeed in what I intend to do. And that can be a great trait! Not giving up when something is difficult is often challenging, and I am proud that I do it often, but it can also be a big weakness.
I spent a lot of time, probably too much time, focusing on making a gyro work in my controller. My whole plan is to make it function like a Wii Remote, using motion to control a mouse. But a gyro is not the only component my controller is going to have, but the gyro wasn’t working and I just needed it to work.
Now that I have 2 weeks left (or just one, because of interchange) I slightly regret not delegating my time better. I did get the gyro working, but now I have to finish the joystick, hat, and shell in quite a short amount of time.
The problem is that I know this is a problem, as I finish most deadlines with minimal time to spare, but I don’t know how to solve said problem. I can tell myself that I’ll work on time management, I’ve even done so in past posts here, but how do I actually do that?
Maybe it’s something I can work on over interchange? I also have my documentation to write, something I’m very good at not doing haha.
