⚙️ Build Smarter, Not Longer — The 80/20 Prototype Rule

Oct 23 (edited) • 🧰 Tools

Most people waste time building because they skip the plan.

The pros? They flip it: 80% planning, 20% building.

That’s how you move faster without rebuilding three times.

💡 Your Game Plan:

Pick ONE idea. (Task tracker, lead capture, proposal generator—keep it simple.)
Map it out:
* Frontend: what users see
* Backend: what makes it run
* Database: where data lives (even local storage counts)
Prep before you build. Write your PM prompt. Sketch your flow. Then build in hours, not days.
Design smart. Few colors, clean spacing, clear text, instant feedback.
Test like a stranger. Open in incognito—if it makes sense instantly, you nailed it.

🚀 Takeaway:

Better prep = better builds.

When you slow down to plan, you speed up results—and your prototypes feel intentional, not accidental.
