I resonate with what you are saying. May I add that people like us can acquire too many projects. I am in a season of cutting back and having fewer projects. Not necessarily less time spent but maybe more focus. Your life sounds very intere

I did but I think now I am done. A sunk cost as you suggest :-)

I think this is the true root of my pondering. I don't know quite yet what direction to point myself in.

I haven't read that, will look into. For me it's a Saturday, around 10-4. I think it's more about the calm you mention rather than rhythm of day.

Interesting. I discovered that hobbying should finish within a certain timeframe or it becomes a burden. For me stopping at 4pm keeps a sense of hobby over work.

Very true. You can achieve quite a bit in one day working with wood.

There are many parallels with dev when shed making. Creating something new, planning, tooling and problem solving. The advantage is getting to move around in the doing.

I do enjoy that, yes and have never seen that video ;-)

I find that so helpful, thank you. I think you scratched the itch in my head. I think my real concern is, "was the shed building time well spent?" I think it served it's purpose and helped me de-stress. I am 50 now and need a

Very true. I have heard and seen this truth at work down through the years

Some people spend more time researching javascript frameworks than the meaning of life. A lot of HN posts seem to be people expressing anxiety about becoming successful or being disillusioned about being successful. I have thought a great d

I left my IT job two years ago and things have worked out just fine. I've become a lecturer in further education which I really enjoy. I also lost 70lbs by changing my diet a bit and walking for 45 minutes a day. Good luck. It's a

> Do you ever struggle with the parts of the bible that feel outdated in the modern context? Just to add to the excellent comment above. More days than not I am amazed at the relevance of the ancient scriptures. My daughter was caught ou

Thank you. There is something special about taking the focus of yourself and it is hard to do :-)

Every morning I read a section of the Bible's Old Testament, Psalm, Proverb and New Testament. I then use the Lord's Prayer as a framework to pray. Having done this for many years I have observed we begin 'Our Father' an

If using a computer would kill me I would spend my time telling others about how to avoid the same thing happening to them.

Thanks and Merry Christmas to the Bible Project. I have got a lot out of your podcasts over the years.

Walking your city gives you a perspective you don't get from driving or public transport. Everything seems a lot closer and you get a better idea of how the parts of the city are connected. I am fortunate to live in a city which has a

Some good advice here. I'll just add that getting into a startup early doors can have its advantages e.g. shares. Downside is greater risk. I'm more impressed now by the small business that grew their revenue than startup gets a m

The Bible. I pretty much read it every day. I think it was C.S. Lewis who talked about chronological snobbery i.e. we think we are cleverer than those who went before us. It amazes me that many of the issues we have are the same as issues p

Where do you get your belief system from? We all have one. Mine teaches me not to think of myself more highly than I ought. It also teaches me to work hard, not seek poverty or wealth, and to think deeply on what I am ambitious about. My am

I used to use dropbox...I then spent years using raspberry pi's as storage devices, rclone, gdrive, s3 storage, syncthing and other solutions...I am now using dropbox again :-) (with rclone thrown in where needed)

I was just thinking the same. My own journey was very shaped by connections. An artist friend also made an interesting comment before I started to work for myself. I said, "it must be great being your own boss". He said, "whe

I have noticed that my friends who invest don't try and guess the market. I like the simple message of make all you can, save all you can, give all you can.

I have had the same CAT work boots for 30 years. They have been up mountains and in swamps.
