If you are a web designer or developer you will know exactly what I am talking about.

You attack a new project with vigor and enthusiasm, producing flashy mockups and impressive menus. However, when it gets down to the nitty-gritty of the project, the coding, the testing, the content, the enthusiasm tends to dwindle.

Sound familiar?

I am not perfect, like most designers my number of aborted projects far outnumbers my finished ones, and I do kick myself for the hours of wasted time I have spent on prokects that never came to fruition. My one piece of advice would be set a timescale and stick to it.

Some of my best work has been for clients who say “I need this working by next Monday”. This way you quickly set the goals, split up the project and get on with it.

With a clear goal in site it is easier to keep motivated!
