Basically, you must understand that you are fighting against yourself. Each day, you fight your former self. You must WANT to become better. The best thing for that is to code a lot (:important) & reread your ancient code (:super important). You will fall in ALL the pitfalls, at first. And then, you will learn to circunvent them. And then you will learn to draw straight lines between the pitfalls, and things will start to become clean. At the end, like Neo in the Matix, you will no longer see the pitfalls. (And then, you will learn FP and you will have to relearn everything. And then Haskell... And then...)
