Given that, how to you get into a coding mood? The quicker you can get into a coding mood, the faster you can knock features.
- scott_s 15y agoLeave yourself fun hooks. If it's the end of the day and there's a task coming up that you really want to do - you know how to do it, and you know it will be fun - don't do it. Leave it until tomorrow. That way when you start tomorrow, you'll have something fun that you know how to do, and that will get the ball rolling. This doesn't just apply to coding. I've used the same technique when writing papers. Some things are just more fun to write than others, and I'll sometimes leave those as hooks to get me going next time.
