Looking for time management tips or apps or tricks you use to keep grounded. What works for you?

Take breaks. This idea that you need to marathon code isn't healthy. Sure there are expensive context switches, but if you aren't actively coding/researching get up and walk around a bit while thinking.

Play games or do something to get away from code for a while.

@psudo good points, the marathon stuff isn't fun. I need to be better disciplined with my time

@dev4 good idea, sometimes I overdo the gaming bit 😐

Start slow and build up. You can set yourself for a 20minute session followed by a 10 minute break. Then, the next day you do 30minute sessions and so on.

After a few days you'll concentrate easier than before so your 30-40min sessions will look short. Also, try not to overwork more than a hour straight unless you're totally focused. Walk around the office/home, talk to your coworkers or get something from the fridge.

Concentration is a habit that gets build each step at a time

Been meaning to try this but haven't had the time
