Very true. Actually, one of the attendees got fed up with all the
different modules etc, and took one of the existing scripts that
quizzed a user on state capitals and turned it into a quiz about dog
breeds. I think that was cool, since it was yes, a smaller goal, but
more importantly, there was some satisfaction of getting something
done rather than feeling behind. So, smaller, digestable goals would
be nice. We could use stroop effect experiments to maybe do concurrent
levels of projects? Not sure. I think starting project ideas from
scratch would be a bit better, because we could tailor it to our
audience and the environment.

Thanks Chris! We tried...so I mean, not everything went as planned,
but we've got to start somewhere.
