In my progress in learning to code Android apps I found myself falling behind. There are a lot of pieces that go into an app. When pressed for time it seems to make sense to try and jump ahead into coding directly. But this is when one really needs to prototype and to understand what the goal of the app is. As a production manager I took the needed time to work through the details because so much money and manpower is involved in any production. As a student one tends to see a pressing deadline and try short cuts to save time. Remaining organized and clear on your goal is the best way to save time and energy and focus. These offer you the means to only do what is applicable to the goal, to focus your time on the details of each activity or phase of the app and to know when you should move on to the next step. It also prohibits frustration by keeping actionable steps in front of you. Time can get tangled when developing any major project but maintaining an organized structure clear goals and actionable steps Will save your neck time and money.
