take breaks, it's ok to relax sometimes.
eat well, not a lot though.
drink more water than coffee.
and last but not least, focus.
Focusing. That's the hard part for me. Once I get rolling, though, it's easier to dial out distractions.
we're all that man, my friend
I go in and out of a good habit of a bottle of water before coffee, its definitely better to start the day with. Thanks for the reminder, I've fallen off the horse again.
Absolutely
nice about water))))
I do this way
Don't try to always be productive. It's unsustainable.
Time to play is really good. I really like to open a new directory and try new things for at least a few hours per week. In the long term I learn a lot about adjacent tech and can bake better descisions, in the short term its not getting of my tasks done.
I would like to stop doing it, I feel I need to do something productive always.
Keep a "done" list, not just a "todo" list.
Many times motivation can hold you back, you feel like you are making no progress.
Just open up your "done" list and voila, you have a massive confidence and motivation boost seeing a gigantic list of things you have achieved.
I have a todo, doing, done list. It's nice to see things move, but a bit tedious to edit this by hand. I need to create a cool todolist app (tui ?). Oh wait, another side project :(
I think you might have changed my work life forever. Imposter syndrome is a plague.
Yes, this is very satisfying <3
KISS 😘
Ah yes, a nice make-out sess always helps me þink. /j
Hahaha :D
What do you mean by "Kiss"?
"Keep It Stupid Simple", basically implement everything as simple as possible to avoid complications and increase deliverability ...
Yes, I have learned about this principle on "Robert kiyosaki's" book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad"
thanks for recalling it :)
Psst, I took it to its maximum ;)

I always said, good developer is a lazy developer. Be selfish, be lazy. Do not hesitate to spend more time to reduce code duplication and better design your code -- it will be huge time saving for you and your team.
Some earlier suggestions on this thread -- work hard. I disagree! Do not work hard -- work smart.
Reduce duplicated code -> use deduplicated code on another thing in same project -> another thing evolve -> need to duplicate code again (and to update it) -> lost time duplicating code after having to reduce code duplication :/
Find the reason to work hard.
that will give you inner motivation to complete the task!
Yes. Ðis is a great tip.
I often have to look at ðe bigger picture and why I want to achieve ðat.
Even ðough I've been slacking, and development previously was on and off, I still want to and will develop RuntDeale, even if I've gotten tired of ðe work involved.
exactly, first of all you have to clear your goals for effort that you need to put on that task.
Mine is specific to those with standing desks, but its pretty straight forward.
Use your standing desk during meetings and after lunch.
This should keep you more focused during meetings, and keep you from feeling the "after lunch crash" after you eat.
Put your phone (far) away.
Don't stress about deadlines or the importance of the task at hand.
Just sit down and do. At your own pace.
Turning off the stress related to the result of what I do massively helps with my productivity
Means:
Plan your work you'll done tomorrow at the end of today.
Find the Task who is most important AND need most focus (and maybe is the hardest one to solve).
Do this task immediately if you begin to work
You will be surprised, how much you'll boost your productivity.
