Feeling Down
Been feeling down since I went for a hike a few weeks back. As I discussed in [Under The Weather](/under-the-weather), getting sick can be tough, and it's a reminder that taking care of our physical health is essential for maintaining productivity and focus. Then developed a cough and have been around 50% to 60 or 70% energy levels since.
Considering that I feel I am doing well since over this time I published a book independently, and published two games (tests to see how far I can go with a new game building software called Construct 2). Pretty good.
But these last couple of days I got more energy. I can tell because I am aggressively pushing the coding side of things again.
Building on ideas from [Uphill Progress](/uphill-progress), where I shared my experience of overcoming obstacles while learning new skills, I'm now tackling unit testing with PHP and Laravel - it's a challenging but rewarding process. Currently I have started learning about unit testing with php and laravel, as I find building robust code essential for growth.
I am considering setting up my server with all my sites working off laravel and or ghost (I really like ghost). lots of work but then I might be able to get a consistent base from which I can deploy sites and in fact the whole server! Using vagrant and homestead. Related to what I discussed in [An End to the Frustration](/an-end-to-the-frustration), where I overcame technical challenges with my website and database, I'm now facing similar issues while setting up my server with Laravel - but I'm confident that with persistence and problem-solving skills, I'll get there.
lots to think about…
