Just like the author suggests leaving a failing test case so it's easier to resume, I leave a syntax error, or something small of the sort undone.
It has been a much better way to tackle the inertia of getting started.

- cheviethai123 3y agoThis, I strongly encourage this way of finishing task. On monday, I just dive into all the stuff I gotta do that week, poking around and even writing some test cases, even if the task isn't finished. This reduces pre-deadline pressure and allows me to continuously brainstorm robust solutions throughout the week for timely delivery with quality outcomes.
