Flowchart: Is that project you're contemplating a GAME CHEF?
"GAME CHEF," in this instance is used to refer to a project that looks like it will be fun and quick, but in actuality will all-consuming and diverting from one's primary goals.
This is not to say that Game Chef (gamechef.wordpress.com/) is not something that one should do. Nor I am saying the Game Chef community are people who actively engage in wastes of time. Indeed, if one has "improving my game design skills" as a goal, then according to this chart, competing in Game Chef is not a GAME CHEF.
Rather, this is a purely personal flowchart, designed to remind me what my goals are, and how easy it is to get distracted by projects that are more work than they appear.
