Either take time off during the holidays, or don’t, but don’t try to do both.
At least, that’s one of the lessons I’m taking away from this winter holiday season. Kind of half working but not really, not able to really relax and also not getting any work done.
Worst of all worlds.
Next time, I’m going to commit to the break.
Put down all the projects and commit to be as totally unproductive as humanly possible.
Really lean into it.
A lesson learned, and today brought a new lesson: Sometimes you have to stare at the screen long enough to remember what the hell you’re doing.
So no code committed today on LETSGO, instead I was poking the codebase trying to remember how to code in the first place.
The most painful part of going for a run is the starting bit, lurching your body into some kind of rhythm.
Well I’m lurching back into this project with about as much grace.
PS: I also need to go for a run. Hoo-boy I’ve not sweated since last year.
