🎾 Just finished resurfacing a tennis court (pics coming soon). Wanted to see what it was like to truly work on your own on something, mostly to see if I'm cut out to be an indy hacker or a one-man development shop (building stuff IRL and writing software have more in common than you might think).
Pro-tip: Start work earlier in the day and take a break from 3-5. Related fact: temperature on cement is much hotter than temperature shown in the weather app.
✍🏻 Writing a book, The Catholic Protestant, about (you guessed it) my conversion from Protestantism to Catholicism. Finished my general outline for the book last week and hoping to complete my specific outline before my Confirmation date at the end of the month.
Aiming to have 1st draft chapters to send to interested friends by mid-July.
💻 One day website hack-a-thons (once a week). Goal is to see what I can ship in a single day.
📺 Youtube video project - scrapped this because creating the videos was getting in the way of actually doing the projects. Will probably document this work with blog posts instead of videos (video editing is quite tedious work)
📙 Hail Mary, Humane Vitae, Father Elijah : an apocalypse, Becoming Orthodox
🎾 Tennis Court
🪚 Work Bench
✍🏻 The Catholic Protestant (general outline)
⚛️ Learning react native (watching tutorials and reading through projects on GitHub). TBD on what I'll build first - definitely will be a slice of the marriage app I've been thinking about, just not sure which piece yet.
🪚 One woodworking/building project a week. Building is going well. Only two projects in but, I'm learning a ton and getting some phenomenal think time. Definitely feeling like 1 project a week is a bit ambitious, so may trim that down to 1 project every 2 or 3 weeks.
📺 Youtube video about each project I do, chronicling my journey from knowing nothing to (hopefully) getting pretty competent in 1 year. Have created scripts and video editing requirements, but haven't shipped anything. Must be stage fright.
📙 Babel, Humane Vitae, Leadership and Self Deception (2nd re-read), Chip Wars
