> - reconnect with writing code for fun. Programming is legitimately the one activity that fully calms me and replenishes me. I stopped doing any side-programming for 10 years, and reviving that atrophied part of myself has been absolutely invigorating. I'm struggling with this right now. I have not worked on hardly anything on the side in many years as well. Either I find some excuse not to, lack the confidence/knowledge to do it, or I just do not have any ideas on what to work on. I actually enjoy programming, but I just struggle with motivation and focus issues which makes things much harder to get started.
