This is described as a finite process, but in reality you never stop.

Usually a good strategy.

Either that or I go straight for the "everything" package that starts with rhythm and ends with a blood-covered mixer.

whatever floats your boat tho

It doesn't really matter. you just need to start, the rest takes care of itself. smile

Edit*: The non-literal "you".... not you you. *shrug* general advice/my thing.
