- Go to sleep early
- Get up at 5-6
- Drink quality coffee
- Work at your desk not from the bed or couch
- Don't start new projects until the last one is done
- Have a good and healthy diet
- Excercise frequently

Essentially don't be like me... Be like anyone else but me and you'll do fine...

You are not lazy like other programmers xD

So do as you say not as you do?

Kid devs:
Program after school work
Skid multiple times or once to complete the project
Learn on android or even code on android
eat tons of fatty foods maybe even one apple but (mozzarella sticks are my heaven)
Build low quality websites and get feedback from customers
Actually starts learning with youtube and code cademy
Does not dev anything but mc mods cuz most kid devs use chromebooks instead of a pc lol

does this match kid devs?

I agree with everything except the 3 first ones. Sleep at times that feel natural, if possible...

I couldn’t work from bed. 1 monitor vs. my normal 4? Also my chair is more comfortable then my bed. I spent a lot on that chair...

@bakk

perhaps, but some of the most productive people I know seem to have the early bird schedule and I just can't help but think it's somehow connected... Maybe starting the day before the stress of work, commute and social life starts is more productive than enjoying the same at night!

It's just a hypothesis, I'm not able to confirm it because I just like staying up late -_-

@bakk that may apply in your age, but once you get older a biologically normal sleep schedule (aka. go to bed before 10pm, wake up early) will become a staple in keeping your old arse functional and by extension productive ;)

@Hazarth Some of the most productive people I know are night owls. People have different biological clocks, and if you follow what's natural for you get better sleep.

@100110111 I think they say it gets changed by one hour or so, so yeah I'm expecting it to change a bit. But my family members are all night owls, it's in the genes hue.

@Phazor001 I do not use chromebook lol

@geilt I don't understand the people who can sit in the same chair everyday and work.
If I do that more than 1 week, something starts to hurt.

I need to switch positions while I'm working.
I can work on knees 1 day, in the next being in the sofa, next in my bed, work on my desk chair, work sat in the floor, etc
If existed a Kamasutra book with PCs, I would already worked in all those positions

@pmso Try a standing desk

- go to bed at 00:45
- wake up at 07:00
- drink weak ass Latte Machiatto
- flip flop wildly between 7 projects for 5 different clients
- finish work exhausted
- forget to exercise because people refuse to respect personal space
- eat whatever is available
- repeat

@pmso life form executive chair by relax the back. Wide seat. Life changer.

Can u actually do them all ?
