Nice post.
Procrastinatination is not a always a bad thing.
For me (edited) it's a symptom that what I intend to do is not simple enough yet.
I have a list of simple useful things you can contribute at the end of this
Contributing to open-source is like dancing Tango

Procrastination is significantly more complicated than that and a self destructive behavior. Stick to what you have competence in (computer science). What works for you may only work for you. After reading your comments, it's ostensibly a poor rationalization. Try honesty regardless of where it leads you. "This above all: To thine own self be true. And it must follow as the night the day, thou canst then be false to any man." Polonious, Hamlet
That part is right. I have edited my comment.
On the other hand, I have no intention to "stick to computer science".
Then you are operating outside your competency. The number one guide in medicine and in psychology IS NEVER OPERATE OUTSIDE YOUR COMETENCY. You have no idea how much harm you can inflict upon others when you do. A single sentence can dramatically change a persons life. I've had the fortune of knowing those I've helped with the right words. I dread the thought of imagining who I've done the opposite the wrong words. We all must be more careful of what we say to others: especially when we give advice to how others should manage their life/problems. I'm sure you don't realize it but, your response contradicts itself. Read it again and think about it.
Good point and I get it.
I have read it again and can't find which of my sentance is wrong.
The mathematical contrary of "not always" is "at least in one case".
I know "at least one case" and more where procrastination is good. I have bipolar tendencies, and when I am in a maniac phase, procrastination is a very useful tool.
As fas as I'm concerned, I am inside my competency when I talk about myself.
Is that worse that letting people suffer alone?
Hi Jean β I really like breaking down procrastination to one idea of looking at macro not micro. In my experience when breaking down big picture items to our team, making these milestones βedibleβ is my #1 focus. Thank you for sharing! Have a great one. -Tom
Thanks for sharing !
Thank you for sharing, Beautus. In your article you mentioned you added JSDocs to a repo. Would love to hear more about that first step. Did hacktoberfest provide repos or provide information on how to find repos to contribute to? All the best! -Tom
For example with codetriage.com
And plenty of things at dev.to/t/hacktoberfest
Another useful site is issuehub.io
Hey Bud,
It's great to see your post! And Thank you for mentioning my post :)
I'm participating in Hactoberfest this year as well. Plan to write a blog/series of blogs once I finish.
Looking forward to see your posts as well!
Cheers!!
No thank you. I doubt I'd have done half of all this without the help.
NB: The app is sitting on 56k+ downloads on Google Play alone
Haha βI still did nothingβ <β that was me last year.
After you send in that one PR, everything else falls into place π€π
I'm so grateful for your post. I could not participate until a week ago due to personal reasons, then I thought I would not have enough time for completing the challenge.
But I saw this post and it really motivated me again to just try it and now BAM four PR's submitted, three already merged!
The feeling of approval is just so satisfying. Please try it out everyone, there's no real downside from contributing and it doesn't have to cost much time too :)
Hey, man. Can you provide the first step to contributing? How? Where?
Thanks!!
Oh man, this is a tough one to answer from the top of my head. But I've read some pretty interesting posts that I think can answer your questions, or at least give you an idea.

Cool! Thanks, bro.
Yes it can seen kind of scary at first, but once you start doing it you realize that's it's fun to help! And usually the people are great ππ
I swear they're the best. Great experience I've ever had. With every PR, there's something new that I learn.
