I’m back home again after a week relaxing on my Mum’s sofa with her dog, reading, napping and watching Netflix. Pure relaxation. Apart from that I’ve also been going on nice walks in the countryside around my home time.
And now I’ve got renewed motivation to make things.
I’ve had this a few times recently and not actually started working on anything so I’m going to ease myself into it. Firstly, I want to make a bit of progress one of my novels. There are too many and I like all of them but the one I made most progress on was the one set on Earth in the future where civilisation has collapsed due to a climate catastrophe.
Apart from my novels, I want to continue working on my projects. The last project I was working on was a component library and editing tool. It was more of a prototype for a tool designed to help build design systems. I think it’s promising but I think it makes some assumptions that don’t hold under certain design systems. We’re planning to build a design system at work, which will be a great opportunity to see what tools if any are useful when doing this in the real world. It will also be cool to see if the design system we create can be specified within the restrictions of the project I was working on.
Tonight I want to write a bit more of that novel, and maybe work a little bit on the mental health app I was working on.
