To distract myself from programming, I braved the brilliant and pollen laden spring weather and took a train North. By shear force\u00a0 of will, I managed to keep myself from bringing out the computer — despite having ample battery and access to power on board the train. It quickly dawned on me, that this struggle could not continue indefinitely, wherefore I sought further distraction and comfort from listening to Big Finish and reading literary criticism. I did concede, that I was allowed to make notes pertaining to games and programming, but only using pen and paper. This small outlet was, I think, crucial in making it through the journey without falling for the temptation of coding.<\/p>\n
When I had arrived at my destination, I stayed away from good working surfaces, instead taking solace in my company, in looking at arts and crafts, and in a well-deserved (I\u00a0 reasoned, after having been so hard at work at not working for so long) ice cream. The real challenge starts now, when I’m firmly sat in a comfy sofa, with the laptop in my lap. But! I shall endure!<\/p>\n
Wish me luck!<\/p>\n \n
