I asked a friend to assist me with the setup of a work environment to prepare and test Linux and Windows builds of the stuff I make.
Maybe I could have done it myself, but as years pass, you need to choose your battles and sharpen your focus on the stuff where you can make a difference.
Maybe in the past I could have even been enthusiastic at the idea of building the whole thing myself, but I find myself being more worried about an entirely different kind of problem nowadays.
The engineering of keeping things running is important, but my services are better put to good use somewhere else.
It comes down to the element of time becoming scarcer all the time, and strategies to make the most of it:
Do only the things only you can do.

Some guys build model train setups; these guys build R2D2 droids. Really gorgeous droids. And they spread a lot of love

The most important thing I can tell you about writing or any other creative pursuit is this:
Give yourself permission to do it and don't worry about being "good" at it.
Life is short. Creativity is joyful. Just do it! Have fun. Muck about.
If you stick it out, you can get good at it over time, if that's important to you — but it doesn't have to be.
You can just play with creativity for the pure joy of it, too.
If it brings you joy, do it.

One sticker design a day (17/365): I May Be Laid Back, But I Can Lean Forward Real Fucking Quick
Perfect for anyone who is usually relaxed and easygoing, but also quick to react, stand up for themselves, or take action when necessary. It’s a warning not to underestimate your readiness or strength.
Great for decorating laptops, water bottles, or anywhere to spark a conversation.
