Je vais essayer d'écrire plus de toots en français pour mieux apprendre
Amis français, si vous tombez sur cela, n'hésitez pas à me corriger. (orthographe, langue, nuance, tout…)
Cet toot vous est présenté par Google Translate (pour l'instant)

`DISABLE_IPX`
from the Netlify documentation. my first thought was why would any one even run the protocol in the first place? reading further …> when set to `true` for a Next.js site, the build will not generate a function for the `next/image` loader bundled into Next.js Runtime.
Sigh! I *am* old!

listen to it as entertainment, rather than history or lessons from history.

going to just take a couple of weeks off and do nothing.
or rather do this and do that. just wander aimlessly -
Binge listening to the Acquired Podcast, by Benjamin Gilbert and David Rosenthal. The tone is young, slightly broey and plenty privileged. I find my self disagreeing with a lot of what they say and opine.
But the stories of the companies that they tell? That part is lovely. and really well executed. Plenty of work and effort.

#NoteToSelf make sure the machine is backed up before you do any sort of driver update on the desktop
At least you will have the latest versions of your stuff when the machine goes wah

#TimeBlocking Log Day 7
Well, it’s not really day 7, it’s been quite a few days. (a week i think)
What I worked on last week was what the logs and the reviews were showing me, telling me. That I had too much on my plate.
cut out a lot of stuff from life. delegated even more. and postponed a few important things. And completed a few of them. There was just no way I was doing them all anyway
What I have learnt, is just showing up daily and doing even haphazard work, leads to getting more done, rather than just wringing my hands over all the things I couldn’t do.
Have quite enjoyed the past couple of days. To boot, my body seems to like this way of working and I have lost weight. Something which I have been struggling to do, since January

#TimeBlocking Log Day 6
Planning the day with coffee and the Cal Newport’s fancy Time Block Planner
(will be going back to plain ole notebooks when this one gets filled)
-
I’ve always told myself, I’m not nostalgic. I don’t have any particular attachment for yesterday.
Until I caught myself yesterday, on a beautiful rainy evening, telling myself, this is just how it used to be. And realised that every good feeling now, links back to good memories of yore
So #NoteToSelf :
- it’s ok. nostalgia is good mostly
- in the humdrum of the daily grind, look for moments of joy
- sometimes take the time out to actively go experience new, novel things
- be present. appreciate today for what it gives you.
- and if you keep going back. be grateful for the good memories. just don’t get stuck there -
ok. this suddenly struck me as I was reviewing my day, last eve, as I do all these #TimeBlocking posts.
The reason I don’t much done, even after all these lovely plans, is that I spent most of my day, holding my breath, for something that may or may not come and knock me and my day over.
I don’t know if it’ll come or not. but my body is in near constant flight or fight mode. because to my mind and body, being caught blind sided is far worse.
I need to figure out a way to be calm and collected and to be ok if things fall by the wayside. both; what is coming at me, or my grand plans for the day.i need to trust my gut, that what I am doing *is* the right thing to do in that moment. If that means that my planned life trajectory will slow down, then I need to clear time and review, and prioritise and have heart to hearts with folks, and / or be ok with life being the way it is.
Just putting these down on paper, seems to have unblocked something in me. Some progress then :)

#TimeBlocking Log Day 5
Decided to take the day off and do only one thing
Got knocked over by life.
Never mind. Time to get up, dust myself and get going again
-
spent the whole day in a slow flow state.
If I take this long to be productive at something then God help me.On the other hand, I should take it as a positive that stuff is slowly clicking for me.

the kind of mood swings, I’ve been having, maybe I should just call myself Hyperion

Kind folk of the #Fediverse. I need #advice on disappearing posts
with all the babbling i’ve doing these days, i’m realising two things
1. sometimes i want to be a bit more vulnerable and open
2. i realise it could come back to bite me in the ass (or worse)So please help me, if you could speak to
1. Why do you make posts disappear? How do you feel about it after?
2. How did you decide on your timeframe of choiceWould be grateful for anything you people can give me to chew on.
Please Boost!

#TimeBlocking Log Day 4
Taking it easy today.
made a plan. for doing nothing. or very little. what matters today is the plan and the intention and the mindfulness of the execution / delegation behind it. Not the actual content.
I know it’s weird but reading the @thephd’s post and it’s somehow heartening to see that I’m not the only one struggling like this
-
did manage to do *some* stuff.
i’ll count that as a win -
scrapping everything.
will do some reading and some noodling with Python -
#TimeBlocking Day 3 Log
created a plan in the morning.
have just spent all day looking at it. and then browsing the same set of five websites in a circlemental energy seems to be a real thing after all.
-
If you extend your block because it gets interesting and then get tired and bored, you have only yourself to blame! have the discipline to stop when the going’s good.
-
block one done! 🎉
took a break. on to the next block -
Not as much head scratching involved, while making the plan, compared to yesterday.
I know I’m supposed to keep weekends loose, but I’m kinda making a pseudo plan today filled with loosey goosey stuff to do.
-
Ok done for the day. Shutdown complete ✅
Cognition takes a precipitous dive post 6p.
best served for light reading / iterating / noodlingEnergy highest in the morn. Tackle hard tasks then.
Doing this makes me a lot more self aware and intentional.
the plan got borked thrice in the day.
At least this time I got to be intentional about what I would do / ditch / delegate / postponeAnd everything got captured, so my mind’s empty
It’s not natural doing this. And a bit hard.
So I’ll probably keep doing these, until the process becomes second nature.
-
peak distraction in the last hour.
took me 30m to read two pages of a book.
evenings are also very interruptible -
third focused task.
did only a few minutes of work in the
self realisation: everytime i tackle something hard, i want everything around to be perfect. i need to know all about it. how long it will take. how it is structured and blah blah blah.
methinks for me, the solution going forward is to just dive in. and then recalibrate once i’m actually doing the work.
-
done with lunch.
day rescheduled. one task had to be dropped
moving on with the dayfeeling much better than normal.
-
first focussed task. ran over by a lot.
rescheduling day -
irrational concern when talking / collaborating with folks
do it faster!
i only have an hour 😂 -
so I need some sort of middle ground of … disciplinary flow, I guess?
also with the old life, all I had to do was show up, and do the work. and that was easy to plan and execute
my current life is very amorphous. I have a lot more responsibilities. I have to take care of family. My body broke in 2018 and it requires daily upkeep to function. And I am trying to pivot careers. All of these generate a lot of work. Not to mention the rest of life throwing things at me.
So I need some approach to somehow taming it. and focus on what I need to do.
I’m good at the long term stuff. I know what I want to do.What I need to try. The paths to get there.
What I currently lack is some way of handling daily life. And what to do when life happens all the time.
Current plan: long term stuff - do with #OrgMode. daily stuff - do with #TimeBlocking
What I *also* need to remember to do is ***review*** mesh what i do on a daily basis and see if it is leading me to where I want to be.
-
my first heuristic when trying new stuff out, nowadays is not how it works, but *who* made it.
if this is a VC funded / global megacorp thing, it automatically puts it in a no trust, try in a sandbox, give it a really long trial, and then use it and then don’t even trust it zone, if i use it at all
most times, I’ll just skip it. #ViaNegativa
life’s too short to be burned multiple times.
