a) You are amazing and inspirational. Congratulations!

b) As a person struggling with procrastination, and goal setting/choosing, I would like to ask you some qs about the 1 site / day for 180 days, thing. It seems to me as an interesting "reach your goal, without setting hard (sub)goals in between"(?)

If I understand correctly, you set out to code one site per day, without specifying beforehand what you would do each day? Every day you said, "ok, today I'll do this"? Was it difficult to choose between possibilities, and how did you address that? Where there end conditions for the day's goal? Or you just went as far as you could? How did you manage to stay focused on the day's project, without branching off to various tangents? Were some days under- or overwhelming, in their difficulty?

..Sorry for the wall of text, but any experience/advice/insight, would be greatly appreciated. ..Congratulations, once more.
