My two month break

I took something like a two month break from learning to code.  I was making money doing other things, and those things left me pretty tired.  They were distractions from coding, and honestly I think coding doesn't have my full attention.  I'm going to try to slam it in by hitting on more cylinders.  I'll be doing more than freecodecamp.. I'll work a bit more with Odin, and I've also found a few other resources.  Sololearn for my phone, that will help when all I can do is lay down, but I'll still be able to study. 

I'm thinking of setting a daily timer for my coding adventures.  This will be something like what I do with language learning.  Maybe keeping a written diary will help, too.  Something about this format is hindering me from keeping things collated, which is the whole point of this blog.  Sometimes I also feel like I can't really brainstorm when I write something that I'm going to post on the internet.  It feels incorrect, perhaps unprofessional, perhaps inappropriate.

But also it isn't all that coding is negative.  There are a lot of interesting things going on in my life that I have enjoyed doing, and they are worthy of my time.  I just need to get into a new chapter, and I hope coding can get me there.
