Rich Hart: By the Numbers

Bio

I enjoy common sayings.

One favorite is ‘if you spend 10,000 hours.’

I first wanted to call bullshit on it for one reason, I then looked up more details. With more info, I wanted to call bullshit on others for referencing it.

Anyway, it fueled my OCD or ADD or some other thing in my brain that needs to get to the bottom of things.

I started thinking about putting numbers to my time spent in preparation for your project.

Coolest thing is, every item, every hour listed, once was a new experience.
