I've spent this weekend mostly in bed, and on a PC watching memes
When I am at work and I see a customer or a colleague who needs some help I instantly conjure some motivation and can write some code... But when I'm alone at home I cannot accomplish anything on a computer, only can do the chores.
How do people even do anything on their own? I only became good at linux because I at some point in life became obsessed with it, I can't study anything on my own, couldn't get a driver's license, couldn't finish a university

- stuaxo 10mo agoWhen I used to have bigger gaps between contracts it would take about a month after finishing a job before I could do lots of coding on my own projects. Went travelling for a bit and was working on my own projects and learning - it worked best when treating it a bit like an job, having a schedule to go and work in a coffeeshop pretty much.
