The 12 Week Year—Week Two
Mindset
Define one step for each day, so tiny, that you know you will carry it out. Break the project down into daily bites of work. Then take action every day.
Know in every moment what needs to be done to move you toward our goal.
Always ask this before you do a task: Does doing this get me closer to creating what I want to create?
Only plan items you can execute! Make your plans achievable. Less might be better. When you make plans you cannot achieve your motivation will be killed!

20th ofMay 2018 Recap Of Week Two

This comment is my Recap of Week Two of my current 12 Week Year. I was to update the post. Therefore I write the recap as a comment to my own post.
First of all, I noticed that I did not take care that well of my 12 Week Year posts lately. I do not update my progress on a daily basis. Not updating the status is bad because the whole planning falls apart if you do not follow your plan. I need to take care of it and be more thorough.
The acute reader will notice that I already should be in week three and not in week two. I got stuck on my development work and did not update the status at all. The problem was a technical one; I did not get the Steem lib to work with my React Native app. The 0.7.1 version did not work. It took me a whole week to resolve the problem because of poor documentation.
In this week (week two) I lost a lot of time again due to a technical problem and poor documentation. This time it was sc2-sdk which does not work with my React Native app. react-native-app-auth did not work with my app. And even if it would it would be insecure (Native Apps and PKCE), because sc2-sdk is not supporting PKCE. Please correct me, if I am wrong here.
Because of this, I reconsidered my decision to use OAuth with my mobile application. Instead, I will allow the user to authenticate with the username and private posting key. I hope I will earn the trust of users.
My takeaways for the planning of next week is that I need to follow through on my plans and take daily actions as laid out in each post.
