What I have realized for myself tough is that being a developer, you need an avenue for mindless tasks. Unfortunately due to cultural programming and a good job on behalf of the creators, it is the social media sites, the productive yield of which is very low.
So, for myself atleast, I have realized that I cannot absolutely stop using these sites. The best thing to do then, is to replace it with another activity that is productive and similar. hackernews does a good job.
Some people mentioned reading an ebook that sounds better. Will try that as well.
I think gaming can be considered as well.
- diegoperini 9y agoI completely agree. Although it is not that mindless of a task, I personaly prefer playing a musical instrument without thinking too much of its theory. Playing music like a musician who codes really helps.
- fazkan 9y agoThats a good advice as well, tried my luck learning a guitar but the threshold to enjoyment was too high....I think I should pick that up again.... For now I play fifa, or CS with my team mates. Tough it takes much more time than i would want to give to it...
