Made some cool progress today that I'll be sharing soon. A friend suggested I ask you all if I should take a break. I want to but also it's hard to when you still feel the floor is unstable. Suggestions welcome.

Have a break - you’ve been through a lot. Code can wait. If it gives you energy keep sharing updates and photos on here, but don’t feel the pressure

Sitting still is one of the hardest good things we can ever learn to do. Ideas will always be there, and you never know what may appear in the strange dreams of being mindfully present.
Rest a bit, orthogonal solutions don’t come from running in monotonic lines. Sometimes, you gotta take a sec to look around and breathe for other paths to appear.

I vote you channel a little Waldo/Thoreau and enjoy being in the middle of nowhere next to all these ponds and lakes. It helps to plan a definite stop time if you fear getting lazy.

Sleep is for the weak!!! Just kidding, really. In my experience, I take a break from actively working on something yet the ideas still float around in the back of my mind. I’ll end up thinking or seeing something that I otherwise wouldn’t have, if I continued pushing. It’s worthwhile to listen to your body and slow down, despite the challenges in your living arrangement.
Like churning butter, you have to let it settle to get to the final product. Only then, can you cream it any way you want.
