The Project Fits The Timeline
November 16th, 2009There is a reality we often don’t like to acknowledge. It’s that the time it takes us to accomplish something is often determined by how long we’re given to complete it. It’s almost like some sort of mental jujitsu our brain does to us.
If I have 2 years to build a house, I guarantee it will take me me the full two years (maybe longer). Whereas if I have one year I’ll figure out a way to get it done. This is true whether your in construction, web design, or lawn care. When we have a short time line we work faster and more efficiently. When we have tons of time to accomplish something our brain’s begin to see all of the nuances and somehow complicate the issue.
If you’re about to tackle a big project estimate however long you think it will take you to complete it and then cut that time in half.

This is very true when it comes to wedding planning.

First of all this is true, especially when you research the best designer for your site…. Discovering Magnt was a pleasure, yet I wish there was a way to edit font size and colour. I appreciate that it is possible to use Hebrew fonts and hope you have a solution for my riddle annd then I’ll publish it throughout the Israeli blogosphere.
In thanks,
Corinna

Sorry for the delay in responding Paul and Corinna.
Paul, so glad you liked the post! Spread the word about the blog and Magntize.
Corinna, our goal with Magntize was to keep the backend process as simple as possible. Giving users like yourself more control over things like font sizes is certainly something we’ll keep in mind though. Thanks for the input!
