Prototyping is one of the most important things in my mind when making. The thing is you do not want to treat it as a prototype. Prototypes are how you learn. I am on my 3rd prototype for the shifting device so far for my bike project, and I can proudly say that I have learned something from each one. It is very important to take ideas and run with them. That is why I have never been a big fan of blueprints when starting out on a project. I find that I will have some kind of an idea in my head of what I want to make, but very rarely do I end up with something like what I have pictured. This is because as I continue to make steps through that process, I learn things, and my ideas change. Then when I and done with what ever I have made I sit back taking a look at it, and then get a good night sleep, and then go figure out what I have learned, and what I should change when I try again.
I do my best to try and apply this process to my life as well. Every minute of every day I am learning, and trying to improve myself. This helps me get better suited to react to different situations. The thing is I try not to plan things out in my life too much, because everything is always changing. As I go through my days I learn so many new things that I try to apply to every new situation I am faced with. From this process I try to be as well prepared as possible for anything and everything that may or may not happen to me in a day.
