This reminds me of Derek Siver's post about memorizing a programming language[0]. If I start working in a new language or new framework full time, I find it really helpful to be deliberate about learning the things I'll use regularly, to reduce the dependence on Google for common API calls etc. Like others have said I've found that programming on a flight or long train ride is super productive, especially for starting a new feature where I'm writing fresh code (as opposed to debugging existing code). For some reason I've rarely translated that into deliberately using "flight mode" when I need to focus. [0]: https://sivers.org/srs https://sivers.org/srs
