[2403.18 --> 2404.42] It's such a hard question |
[2404.42 --> 2406.48] because I'm aware |
[2406.48 --> 2408.54] that the raindrop of inspiration |
[2408.54 --> 2410.14] in the desert |
[2410.14 --> 2412.18] of computer, |
[2412.42 --> 2413.14] you know, |
[2413.22 --> 2414.18] there's several things |
[2414.18 --> 2415.28] have to line up |
[2415.28 --> 2415.86] in order for me |
[2415.86 --> 2416.74] to be interested enough |
[2416.74 --> 2417.72] to tinker with something. |
[2418.24 --> 2419.58] I have to have enough free time |
[2419.58 --> 2420.60] in my mind |
[2420.60 --> 2422.26] and I always underestimate |
[2422.26 --> 2423.46] how long something's going to take. |
[2423.92 --> 2425.66] So if I think it's going to take four hours, |
[2425.74 --> 2426.94] I know I've got to estimate |
[2426.94 --> 2428.38] I've got to have a whole day free. |
[2429.06 --> 2430.36] And if it's quicker than that, |
[2430.44 --> 2430.64] great. |
[2430.76 --> 2430.96] I mean, |
[2430.98 --> 2432.48] that's often not the case |
[2432.48 --> 2433.04] with Home Assistant, |
[2433.28 --> 2434.60] but sometimes it is. |
[2435.22 --> 2436.38] Probably the best advice |
[2436.38 --> 2437.04] I can give, |
[2437.20 --> 2439.80] and it's not terribly wisdomful, |
[2439.92 --> 2441.82] but it's just try and break down |
[2441.82 --> 2444.16] the things you're trying to accomplish |
[2444.16 --> 2446.20] into small tasks, |
[2446.20 --> 2447.88] small batches of stuff. |
[2448.46 --> 2449.60] Let's say you want to get |
[2449.60 --> 2450.46] a specific room |
[2450.46 --> 2451.72] behaving a certain way |
[2451.72 --> 2452.42] or you want to get |
[2452.42 --> 2453.44] just a couple of new lights |
[2453.44 --> 2454.16] added or something. |
[2455.38 --> 2456.32] And try not to leave |
[2456.32 --> 2457.76] anything half finished |
[2457.76 --> 2459.20] when you go to sleep |
[2459.20 --> 2459.80] or something like that. |
[2459.82 --> 2460.98] I know it's not always possible |
[2460.98 --> 2462.82] because, you know, |
[2462.84 --> 2463.62] I'll wake up tomorrow |
[2463.62 --> 2464.36] and my interests |
[2464.36 --> 2465.58] will be in cars tomorrow, |
[2465.72 --> 2466.44] not Home Assistant |
[2466.44 --> 2467.24] or what, you know, |
[2467.30 --> 2467.78] how it is. |
[2468.78 --> 2470.22] And for me, |
[2470.30 --> 2471.56] leaving stuff half done |
[2471.56 --> 2472.30] when I go to sleep |
[2472.30 --> 2472.88] is the enemy |
[2472.88 --> 2474.22] because, A, |
[2474.26 --> 2475.54] I've loaded it into context, |
[2475.54 --> 2477.22] like in my personal RAM buffer |
[2477.22 --> 2477.62] or whatever, |
[2478.20 --> 2479.64] and loading it back in again |
[2479.64 --> 2481.00] is going to take a long time, |
[2481.22 --> 2481.56] typically. |
[2482.40 --> 2483.74] Sometimes going for a walk |
[2483.74 --> 2484.50] or whatever, you know, |
[2484.52 --> 2485.64] can be the solution. |
[2486.36 --> 2486.90] We've also got to get |
[2486.90 --> 2487.82] the motivation program |
[2487.82 --> 2488.58] running again too. |
[2488.66 --> 2489.84] So it's not just the context |
[2489.84 --> 2490.42] and the data |
[2490.42 --> 2491.04] and the state, |
[2491.12 --> 2491.58] but it's also, |
[2491.68 --> 2492.74] you've got to get motivated again. |
[2492.96 --> 2494.72] Also, the caffeination station |
[2494.72 --> 2495.98] has to be fired up too, |
[2496.22 --> 2496.62] you know. |
[2497.40 --> 2499.40] So, yeah, you know, |
[2499.78 --> 2500.22] essentially, |
[2500.58 --> 2501.84] just break things down |
[2501.84 --> 2503.60] into atomic blocks, really. |
[2503.60 --> 2504.96] Yeah, and complete it |
[2504.96 --> 2505.84] one room at a time |
[2505.84 --> 2506.88] and complete it |
[2506.88 --> 2508.12] as much as you can. |
[2508.82 --> 2509.18] That's a great, |
[2509.24 --> 2510.00] and that's a great tip. |
[2510.26 --> 2511.44] Yeah, and I find that helps |
[2511.44 --> 2512.48] with motivation too |
[2512.48 --> 2513.80] because if you actually think, |
[2514.30 --> 2514.98] right, I've done that |
[2514.98 --> 2516.96] and it works as intended, |
[2517.44 --> 2518.96] next time, you know, |
[2519.04 --> 2519.42] you'll be like, |
[2519.48 --> 2520.04] oh, well, yeah, |
[2520.06 --> 2520.96] I actually achieved |
[2520.96 --> 2521.88] what I set out to do |
[2521.88 --> 2523.60] and it can be a self-perpetuate, |
[2524.28 --> 2525.42] self-fulfilling cycle |
[2525.42 --> 2526.00] of improvement. |
[2526.38 --> 2527.14] I think that's probably |
[2527.14 --> 2528.66] how I should probably attack |
[2528.66 --> 2529.36] like the rebuild |
