What will you do differently in 2016 to make it happen?

Nothing. It launched. Then the co-founder quit and took it down.

It's coming back soon though.

Stop looking for productivity 'techniques' that others have found to work for them and just do the best thing I can think of now to get something done.

Momentum tends to work better than any one 'technique'.

Nothing, I launched, but I need to refine it and make it look better: bestfoodnearme.com

I didn't feel the user interface was ready. Also, as the system is a database at heart it has to be absolutely rock solid.

Planning to launch on the 5th of Feb, which is the date (4 years) since I wrecked my knee and started working on this project to keep my mind busy. See https://velox.io

Nothing stopped me, I was trying to build it out. 2016 will be my year to get beta users and really get things going. You can check it out at http://localhost:3000 ;)
