# Update I got hit with some burnout this week. Either that or the fumes from my 3D printing got to me. I got in a bit of work on the Obsidian Starter Kit and started planning a couple of projects after this one reaches its first milestone. I'm hoping to have the coding part wrapped up this week, but we'll see. The docs will take a little more time since this takes a big change in mindset to use. There's still a lot that will be improved upon for version 2 later down the road, but I want the core philosophy of how to use this productivity framework to be clear from the beginning with version 1. Outside of that, I made a little bit of progress on my cert. Nessus decided to give me issues after an update which consumed a bit of my free time to troubleshoot, but at least I'm better off for future issues. I added in some automated VM snapshots in case that fails. I got some worldbuilding in on the Everfold. I don't think I have mentioned that name before, but it's been the placeholder for the world in which my fiction writing takes place for years now. Specifically, I worked on the world I plan to introduce in the third series, if I ever make it that far. We'll see. While reviewing old notes, I stumbled across a [great mindset video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovrzKCQ2JTM&t=15s&pp=ygURam9obiBncmVlbiBoIG9mIGc%3D) by John Green called [Hermeneutics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermeneutics) of Generosity. At a time when my cynicism is growing more and more, this was a breath of fresh air. Maybe it can be for you too. That's about it this week.
