h​avacow How does everyone find time to work on their indie websites? Sigh. I really want to make my website more interesting but I just find that all my "good energy" is wasted on my web development day job. By the end of the day, Im too mentally exhausted to do much. And on the weekends I try to get out of the house but maybe I need to just set at least an hour or two aside each day on the weekends and stop making excuses.
#
[tantek] ^ this would be an excellent FAQ

#
[tantek] what is life happens
#
Loqi life happens is a summary expression of numerous things that people experience in their actual physical lives that suddenly take higher priority than nearly anything else (like participation in volunteer-based communities), and the IndieWeb community is here to acknowledge, accept, and be supportive of community members experiencing this https://indieweb.org/life_happens
#
sknebel heh, yes. I think for many of us its "very occasionally" :D
#
c​apjamesg havacow[d] A website is something that you can work on for a day or a decade. Some people's sites have been the culmination of small changes over years; others' foundations were built in a few weekends and improved from there.
#
c​apjamesg I did a lot of the groundwork for my site 2-3 years ago, when I had more time. Now, I mainly write. Sometimes, all of the code changes I make to my site are adding an emoji somewhere 😄
#
c​apjamesg Getting outside is a good idea. Your website will always be there when you have time!

h​avacow Yeah maybe I am being hard on myself. I've always had some sort of website over the last decade but its always been barren. Now I find myself really enjoying what I've made (within the last year or so) but I still feel bad for not putting more time into it.
#
h​avacow I do think I need to find a way to make it more of habit though. Like, "30 minutes a day after work, no excuses!". I think I feel bad because I think I'm being lazy.
#
h​avacow But good points. Life happens, and the website will always be there hwen I have time.
