			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In computing, <em>force quit</em> is a command that forces a computer to abandon its current operation (often because the system locks up and is producing nothing). After all, it&#8217;s pointless to keep a stalled program alive if it is producing no results.</p>
<p>However, life is not so black and white. Life gives you more choices than simply quitting.</p>
<p>When faced with a stalled project lacking results, you can choose to continue letting it waste away, to <em>force quit</em> it, or to <em>force start</em> it. There is no absolutely right choice. It all depends on the circumstances surrounding a project&#8217;s context. Because time is a limited resource, you will always have to quit one thing in order to start another. The question is not <em>What is important?</em> but rather <em>What is most important?</em></p>
<p>After a season of <a title="Strategic Postponement" href="http://www.kentshaffer.com/strategic-postponement/" target="_blank">strategically stalling</a> this blog, it has come time for me to choose between force quitting and force starting. I have chosen to force start KentShaffer.com and celebrate the relaunch with a redesign.</p>
<p>Please come celebrate with me and <a title="Subscribe to KentShaffer.com" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/KentShaffer" target="_blank">subscribe to the RSS feed</a> if you have not already!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes you must postpone something <strong>good </strong>in order to do something<strong> great</strong>.</p>
<p>The world is full of good opportunities but great opportunities are typically rare. And when they come, it is worth postponing something that is important in order to do something that is more important.</p>
<p>This summer I postponed blogging here at KentShaffer.com. And I invested that time into developing a new commercial real estate listings website called <a title="AcreScout - Your Commercial Property Guide" href="http://www.AcreScout.com" target="_blank">AcreScout</a>. AcreScout allows real estate agents to add their commercial properties for free. And user friendly tools make it easy for businesses and organizations to search for commercial real estate for sale or for lease.</p>
<p>Eventually, there will be more blog posts here.</p>
