What I hadn't accounted for: staying in a Riad with no lock on the door means the laptop goes everywhere with you.
It went to the souk. It went to the desert. It went on the back of a camel.
Did I actually learn much? The hell I did. I got one session in under the starlight in the freezing cold desert — it was February — because the only time I had to do it was basically the middle of the night.
Did it pay off? I doubt it.
Yes, you need to work hard. But get the balance right. Don't take your laptop on a camel. That's not necessary.
The camel does not need it. You do not need it. Nothing about this situation requires it.
Be in the place you're actually in.
If you're learning something right now — coding, a language, anything — the consistency matters. But so does actually living your life. One missed day in the Moroccan desert is not going to derail you. Burning yourself out trying to squeeze in a session at midnight in the freezing cold might.
Go outside. Don't forget to live your life. That's it.
