In computing, force quit 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’s pointless to keep a stalled program alive if it is producing no results.

However, life is not so black and white. Life gives you more choices than simply quitting.

When faced with a stalled project lacking results, you can choose to continue letting it waste away, to force quit it, or to force start it. There is no absolutely right choice. It all depends on the circumstances surrounding a project’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 What is important? but rather What is most important?

After a season of strategically stalling 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.
