The 12 Week Year—Week Eleven
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 your 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!

What has worked? What did not work? Do you need to adjust The Machine? Be honest, find the truth. Plan the next week.
- Identify problems that stand in the way of you achieving the outcome this week
- Diagnose problems to get at their causes
- Design plans that will get you around your problems and toward the defined outcome
- Push through to completion. Do what is necessary.
- Define the outcome for next week that will bring you closer to your goal.

This comment is the recap for week eleven:
Overall the week has been quite productive, although I missed updating my post on a daily basis :(
I managed to run the application on a real device. I was pleasantly surprised to see the app running smoothly on my iPhone without any glitches. Expo makes it incredibly easy to bring your app to a real device.
Image handling finally works but still needs some improvements (caching for example).
I set two outcomes for week eleven.
[x] Implement the image feed
[x] Deploy to my device
Both goals have been reached, which is a good thing. Still, my progress is too little, and I will miss my overall goal for the 12 week year, The goal was to earn some money through beneficiary rewards when other Steem users are using the app to post their content. I missed that goal.
I worry that it will take me another 12 week year cycle to even complete the app and release it to the app stores. On the other hand, I do not want to abandon the project.
I will complete the 12 week year. Then I will make up my mind to continue with it or not.
