Stop waiting for the new year, for a new month, for the clock to turn :00. Start now.

I have a note pinned in my notes app:

Start where you are

Use what you have

Do what you can

Getting back on the horse is the real skill.

Stuff gets in the way, you get blocked, you get sick, you get life. Things happen that will make you pause or quit or delayed. They're inevitable. But as long as you're good at starting again, none of it will ever stop you.

This is why code quality, documentation, notes are NECESSARY life saver. Shit gets in your way/face, you forget about things that were on your head before and it's downhill from there. Once I learned how to use notepads, phone notes and physical notes, I have no issues with getting back to something. It's still not easy to get back to bigger project after extended period of time and you need to do it gradually and relearn a lot.
