Today I Learned it’s tough to be honest with yourself. I was working on my app and came to a conclusion that this is not what I wanted to be doing. I started working on my idea for an app because I wanted to ensure when it was time to graduate and look for a job I would be well equipped to hold my own in interviews. Then the thought came to mind as to if I’m going to work on this app I might as well work on it with the intent to actually make an app that people use. But when I thought about how it would then really take years to build a sustainable business I got the strong inclination to do music again. Today I then spent my time working on music. I keep oscillating between working on music and not working on music. It’s interesting. Something I was so bullish on is now something that causes apprehension. My plan was to do school. Then in breaks like these work on my app to actually get hands on practice. This would for sure increase my chances of getting a job and making my time spent in college so so worth it. A logical plan. A plan that would take 2 1/2 years to follow through with it. I still beleive in this plan. It’s just that I let myself get so frustrated with the difficulty. Software development is very tricky. I think I used making music as a safety net becuase it’s something I’m so familiar with. But using these breaks to make music wouldn’t be the best economic use of my time. Sure the possibility that I make a hit record is always there. But it’s so so rare that that would happen. What is more likely is that I build a bit of a fan base that I would slowly loose after the breaks would be over. What sense would it make to use these breaks to make music. Then come graduation time I am unable to get a job because my resume just looks like all the other people’s. Creating an app will didtinguish me amoungst the masses because creating an app is difficult and takes a high amount of organization skills. The reason I am creating an app is to standout when it’s time to apply for jobs. Not to start a business. Remember Della, sacrifice is what moved you forward. Choosing one thing over the other and not choosing booth. Write down the plan and stick to it. It’s tough but it is worth it.
