It's been a while ...

Time flies fast! Back to it.

May 01, 2023

I never really got into writing here, which is a shame. I set everything up, worked out the design and was motivated enough to start blogging here. It never happened - for various reasons. Time flies.

I recently got into reading Atomic Habits by James Clear after hearing multiple times of it in the last months which basically moved some gears in me to get back to writing, although I’m currently at the beginning of the book. Nevertheless, I felt motivated enough to sit at coding my website to have some sort of habits to establish. I refactored some stuff, updated some npm packages, changed my theme in terms of colors - I really like violet and lilac colors, obviously, since I discovered them some months ago for myself.

These are things that got lost week after week. With each week passing I became less motivated to code in my spare time since working fulltime in software engineering can be pretty time consuming and you put all your effort into this - spare time projects like personal websites can get easily lost, I think. That’s where I want to position myself to work on. I do renders in Blender which I share on Instagram because this gives me some variety to coding and is overall my main hobby because it’s just where I come from and is a rather different creativity process than software engineering. Coding in spare time after coding in fulltime work is mostly a bit too much as in the most workspaces we live in, exceptions exists and you can always find a good way which suits your personality and life situation.

Anyway, I’m not sure about the outcome of trying to focus more on my website - and that’s totally fine - but I’ll try it and post it here.
