Day 835 - Side project weekend: Week 3 updates - https://golifelog.com/posts/side-project-weekend-week-3-updates-1681531659297
Updates on side project weekend: Pretty happy with the progress so far. So much so that I'm surprised why I didn't do it sooner.
I decided to start setting aside my time on [weekend mornings for side projects in end March](https://golifelog.com/posts/start-of-side-project-weekends-1680396240910). Felt great [starting it the following week](https://golifelog.com/posts/side-project-weekends-1679711565154), getting re-acquainted with VS Code and Nuxt.js all over again.
And since then, I've shipped 2 big text editing features for Lifelog. Getting those feature requests off the roadmap always feels great. The best part - not letting Lifeloggers down.
Personally, feeling progress on all these side projects after so long of ignoring them is a great relief. Easing some of that cognitive pressure of the projects nagging away at me felt cathartic.
Thinking back, it's silly why I didn't think of starting this sooner. I know the power of 1% compounding, and compounding a little bit even if every week not every day is still compounding. Shipping 1 feature a week means I would have shipped 52 features in 1 year! That's not unsubstantial.
What I didn't expect: Jumping out of bed on weekends, more so than weekdays! How weird. And surprising.
I guess I have a hobby now?
