Back in the uk from 42C to 14C is depressing

@Arbaez55676 Sure is favourite country outside of uk

@DevBillyM Turkey

👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🔥

@s4rah_dev Ah I tried to lift tiles last week that were in a 49 year old house by hand gave up after r20 minutes of hitting the hell out of them with a hammer and bit was only cracking the edges

@LjCodes Best thing in the world kids

@DevBillyM It definitely has its good points but all the rest too - in some ways they keep me young 😌

Happy Friday 🤩 Make sure you try to do more of what makes you happy, and less of what doesn’t 🫶

@LjCodes Yeah unfortunately got to be strong for the kids if you get what I mean 20 years down the drain but that’s life

@DevBillyM Sometimes it’s a case of just having to be ok really isn’t it

@LjCodes Yeh so so

@DevBillyM Good, thanks - hope you’re good too ☺️

Do what you love. Do what you are good at. Do what the world needs. Do what you can be paid for. Focus on small improvements every day, aiming to become 1% better daily instead of waiting for big changes.

How are we this fine morning

Hows everyones day been? hope its been great for you!

@LjCodes Yeah totally get that i have had burn out before and took me months to just feel like reading code. Plus having a family is hard i have 3 girls and yess its hard and hectic. you know where i am if you every need anything

@DevBillyM Not so bad if you’ve got back up then I suppose. I guess you could call it dev block - mainly hectic life lol. Slowly getting back to things, it’s not so easy after time away - it’s not like you forget as such but it just doesn’t flow. Starting to find bits of spare time now.

It’s about not compromising on what our goals are, but being prepared to compromise on how we achieve them 😌

@LjCodes Yeah there is 2 of us that deal with the 9 between us though so we just crack on. have you got dev block or just family life to hectic atm

@DevBillyM I guess once you’ve got a system going it’s a bit easier. Nothing particularly interesting for me lately tbh - I really need to prioritise my time better.

@LjCodes Sometimes I wonder! It’s fine once you get going tbh it’s the starting point I find slow. Some projects are upgrades or rebuilds in a CRM/CMS etc. Some updates take weeks, others months though. You doing anything exciting atm?

@DevBillyM I wish I could be as productive as that - idk how you do it 😅😅😅

@LjCodes Yeah, got about 9 projects on the go. Then Apple decides to call me at 5pm on a Friday about one of the apps 🙃. Been a nightmare juggling Apple & Google tbh. Got a few PWAs ticking over too. Pretty full-on right now, but there’s always room for more!

@DevBillyM It is, that’s true - I will be more patient and keep at it 👍🏻 How’s your endeavours?

This also goes for people.

@LjCodes dont be too hard on yourself each thing done is a step further. just keep at it when the time is right

@DevBillyM It has, yes - although it’s been on hold now for some time. I will circle back to it because it means something to me, but I’ve accepted that it won’t get me closer to my goals. It belongs as a side project and my time is spread too thinly for it rn - I was delusional 😆

@LjCodes Yeah you protect has been what nearly 2 years

@DevBillyM I’m only just beginning to realise this
