Day 6/7: Enjoying the Journey
Sunday, July 20, 2025
I’m quickly learning that the moment I throw any amount of travel into my schedule, the chances of me being able to work on projects drop to near zero. Overall, this isn’t a bad thing since a nice break from time to time is super helpful and can lead to new paths to take.
Thankfully, even though I didn’t make any progress yesterday due to a full day of travel, today I was able to add a small feature to the app. It wasn’t a lot, and honestly doesn’t move the needle any huge amount, but it is something. And most of what is outstanding on the app is pretty small things that will help make the app more usable for more people.
One interesting thing I did discover by skipping yesterday and jumping back in today was how much I miss this space I’ve carved out to work. Between the Xcode project and these blog posts, it has become this peaceful and almost secluded space to do work. It makes me want to return to the work more and more as time goes on since it is such a joy to sit down, code, write about it, and post it online.
Next to no one is reading these posts, but I think that is why I’m enjoying this process so much. I’m not doing any of this for likes, views, or comments. I’m doing all of this for myself and enjoying the entire journey.
