Checkpoint 2: Ambitions and challenges

[nepenthee]

The challenge has garnered a good amount of webmasters, from familiar to new faces, yay! To anyone reading this while still debating whether to sign up: Do consider joining us even if you might not finish your shrine by the deadline. You are invited to make use of this space if it motivates you and drives the completion of your shrine along!

My questions this week: Do you have any specific plans for your shrine aside from the challenge theme, e.g. is there anything specific you want to achieve, something new you want to try out, a skill you want to pick up? Where do you foresee your biggest challenges?

Again, feel free to chat about anything, no need to answer any of these questions. Also note that any previous checkpoint posts will stay open and you are more than welcome to reply and continue conversations there!

The deadline is actually helping me push through the perfectionism and just finish something.

Ha, this is very relatable. I swear half the sites I've ever made were because I had a deadline, either external or self-imposed. It's amazing what that pressure can help you achieve.

I'm very much looking forward to your site! Good luck both with putting it together and learning new code — I feel as if there's a ton I still need to learn, even without taking a significant break from it.

That's so kind of you to say—and yes, absolutely. Deadlines can be such strange motivators, but sometimes that pressure is exactly what helps push a project across the finish line.

I'm really glad you relate; it's comforting to know other creators go through that same cycle of perfectionism and release.

Thank you again for the encouragement—it honestly means a lot while I'm deep in the final stretch.
