Trial and Error

25/06/2021 Welcome to Learnt, on today's episode I talk about the personal project that I have been working on over the week and what I have learned from it. Trial and Error I have been thinking about this project for a long time and I usually just write notes on it but I never started it because of uni work. This week, on Monday I decided to go back to my notes and began a rough model of the shoe design. Once I was happy with the design, I began putting the electronic components into the shoes and this by far has been the most difficult part of the entire project. Because I had to consider the material, my weight, the battery and the chip. Finally, after the 12 iterations (each time with a completely different design) everything worked perfectly without any issues. What I have learnt from doing this project is to keep going. When you get to a stumbling block, stop everything and do something else, the reason for that is, you tend to keep thinking about a solution at the back of your mind while you do other things. There is some type of chemistry that develops when doing that and that through perseverance how I found the solution to it. Enjoy the process more than the end result, because the process is the most important part of your progress and shows your hard work, and that is something you can document to show or be proud of the journey you went through. Or you may document it so that people can comment on and further your progress. WIHLT #enjoy #process #consistency #keep #going
