Week Notes forJuly 26 - August 1 (#109)

It was a quiet week.

Resting

After seeing the doctor about some hip pain, it was recommended to take it easy for a week and avoid strenuous exercise. That meant no hockey, no lifting, and no running. Whelp, there goes me getting back into a rhythm with lifting. Oh well, I think it was definitely the right call to rest. I got a few walks in, but otherwise took it easy.

Personal Site Redesign

I've made some good progress on the redesign I've been working on to match my photography site. I'm trying to figure out how to merge in some of the old stuff I included in different posts. My week notes and reading logs have evolved over the years and older versions use some 11ty shortcodes that would be nice to be able to remove. I might have to mess a bit with the HTML to sort of hardcode it in without adding more tech debt.

Writing

I've made a deliberate attempt this week to write more and I had moderate success. I used Raycast's Focus Sessions and was able to keep the distractions away and stayed focused for 30-60 minute sessions, hitting around 1,000 words each time.
