What's your trick to stay productive?

>>58753028
Actually give a shit about what I'm working on.

Music
Makes me wanna get up and do shit

>>58753028
Drive and obsession for reaching a goal. That comes when you work on something you like and enjoy. Most people tend to follow lucrative trends in programming instead of following their own path. This applies to all fields in general.

Add 4chan to the hosts file

Listen to white noise or like fire cracking. That helps me not think about doing anything else beyond what I'm working on. Also block sites that distract me

This hurts

Eggs or oatmeal every morning

wait, what? do you not eat eggs or something?

Physically write a list of the things I want to accomplish in a given day. To start just put a couple of things that will only take 10-20 minutes tops.

In the beginning it's more important to build the habit of doing something rather than actually accomplishing something major. After the first month you can slowly add more stuff or increase the amount of time you work on the thing.

The only thing that actually makes me work is a close deadline. I won't start working if it isn't under a week until exodus.

>>58753327
>consuming the dead decaying bodies of plants

Ew, sunlight and water is all you need to survive.

I use a productivity app on my phone, and it times me for 25 minutes, with a five minute break. Then it asks if I want to do another 25 minutes work session. It also awards achievements for work time.

It's a great dividing line between work and play, because I can't browse sadpanda or 4chan in public without looking like a tool. >>58756419 also helps too since I'm a horrible procrastinator.

Also, reasonable sleep schedules helps, since I'm up at 5 AM and I can't go to sleep.

>Having a boss is a good trick to stay productive.
This is unironically true.
A good boss is like a sports coach, prompts you to keep pushing.

I have a very busy boss and I work from home. Some weeks he forgets to Skype at all and I get much less done in those days.

Two things:

* Regular routine even when I don't need to wake up for something. Get up at a sensible time in the morning and go to bed at a sensible time. It's amazing how much of your day this gives you and how much energy you have when you sleep properly.
* Firefox addon called Leechblock which locks websites after a preset time. I have 4chan go inactive after 10 mins every hour so I don't accidentally fuck around too long.

Edit: When I say get up at a sensible time, I mean actually get up, shower, get dressed, make your bed - not just wake up at 9 AM and watch youtube in bed until midday.

>>58753028
Never doing anything productive

posting on 4chan

I went from a well-paid developer at one of the Big 4 to a freelancer.

I do not make nearly as much money, but knowing that I can control every aspect of my life is worth it to me. I want to make good money? I will take on a 80 hour job this week. I want to chill out? I will not work or take a small job of 10 or 15 hours. Working for some asshole 50 weeks out of the year sucks.

>>58756637
It depends on the person. Some people work best in silence, some people like having something to listen to so it lowers the chances of them getting lost in their own thoughts and get sidetracked.

>>58759390
Try eating other good tasting food that's healthy and switch to fucking instead of masturbating

Use GNU/linux. You won't be able to do anything else than coding anyways

I use pavlovian triggers. I have this aromatherapy oil that only use right before I need to get stuff done. Every time i smell it I think "time to get to work" and then get to work. It's high john oil so I don't risk smelling it elsewhere.

>>58767735

Adderall is best erall

Leechblock all garbage mindless browsing sites (youtube 4chan, etc)
Meditate 20 minutes every morning.

Set a timer for 4-6 hours, and don't do anything but solid work during this time. During this time, there is only work. Nothing else.

Proper sleep, healthy diet, exercise, taking breaks when my brain starts to slow down, and lots of nicotine.

This is the only thing that works for me as well.

I worked for a startup centered on the work of Stanford Psychologist BJ Fogg which was about cognitive habits. BJ Fogg makes bank making software addictive for (((facebook))) and their ilk - but has a program to develop good habits. Shit was no match for my slacker fortitude though.

Fasting often leads to good results. Not 12 days, but 1-2 days is doable if you have a good diet in the first place (i.e. not vegan or high carb).

>>58781819
Actually, with Alternate Day Fasting, you can eat whatever shit food you want in whatever quantity you want as long as you only consume around 500 calories the next day. And you get all the benefits of going down in weight, getting healthier, etc (even despite the junk food every other day).

There's a lot of scientific literature backing me up on this btw. Search "Alternate Day Fasting" on Google Scholar.

>>58781888
That's nice in theory, but with a bad diet you'll feel so hungry you won't be able to do it.
