My sabbatical has been a great success. It has freed me from the endless grind of feature requests and bugs. I can explore what I want for as long as I like. Why not continue the "sabbatical attitude" indefinitely?
My mantra for Leo now is, "There's no rush. It will wait." Yes, Leo can be improved, but there is no great urgency. For the first time, I see that Leo is fundamentally complete as it is. Right now. *Priorities and schedule* At present, my priorities for projects are, from highest to lowest: - Fixes for recently-introduced bugs. - Fixes for bugs discussed in recent conversations. - Supporting leoInteg (Leo for vs-code) - Improving the newbie experience. - (Maybe) Supporting Leo in Jupyter. - Cleaning Leo's code base for future devs. - General exploration and background learning. Balance: I'll devote a few days every week to bugs and easy feature requests. The rest of the week will be for exploration. I have started to allocate larger blocks of time to music and exercise. Those breaks help me to improve Leo, so the new balance is pure gain. *Summary* The sabbatical has created a new appreciation for balance in my life. The result has been new priorities and a substantial *increase* in my productivity. I'll likely retain those new priorities for the rest of my life. The result could be called a permanent sabbatical.
