It has been months that I am not working productively. Probably almost a year. I am not sure. Especially development related work. I would only start work at the very very late last minute (mainly because of clients and deadlines) and the outcome is usually very poor. Something is definitely wrong with me.

If you're bored, and you do web development, try doing system development. I find it much more fulfilling and challenging, and it makes me more mindful of development best practices.

So I was in the same boat as well, and just last week Tuesday I stood up and went to my CTO, and told him that I took on work because I thought it would impress my peers and help me climb the ladder. The short of it is I said “Fuck all this bullshit work” I want just two things out of this, to be effective and Happy... so I will be doing mobile dev here on out because that’s what makes me happy. Ironically because I love it so much I am super effective and that drives my happiness up.

So you did get out of this, could you say why? Or did it just pass.

@MisterArie one day I listed down the shits overdue, shits need to do, shits want to do. 😛 It was an ugly list.

I also don't know. I guess it's just right time. I slowly changed my routine and focus on matters on daily basis and eventually my daily routine is quite different from before.

I abandoned social media (except this and occasional reddit). I do my best to sleep 6-7hrs a night and make sure to get up by 5am. I don't work at weekends. I try to eat properly.

I do my best to note things down from tasks to small and useful info so my mind doesn't have to worry about them and focus more on the actual process of working.

I started listening podcasts.

I decided to own a proper dev desk as a goal.

@cursee nice
