Procrastination was been hitting me hard recently. I was so stressed out that I found myself literally saying "I'm not good enough." I knew that was not accurate, but I was still feeling inadequate. So I look a long lunch. While I was out I realized that I could pivot to saying "My code's not good enough" and "I am not my code". I was working through a lot, but I just wanted to share that it is possible to make incremental gains when you're feeling like krapola.
- octodog 6y agoIn a similar vein, when I start to feel like that I try to remind myself that I should be "questioning my knowledge, not my self". I think it's quite a powerful idea. Questioning your knowledge can lead to positive introspection and growth, whereas questioning or doubting yourself will not.
- PopeDotNinja 6y agoYeah, When I reached "my code's not good enough", I started to come up with some actionable steps to take to resolve that.
