I purposely avoid programming and electronic devices for the sake of perspective and brainstorming.
When I'm writing code I'm boxed into production mode. Get. Shit. Done. But, particularly when the work I am doing is self-directed and self-prioritized (aka my own startup or side project), I need hours away to really think about the big picture.
Activities that are away from the bombardment of input of my computer/phone work best for me. Let my mind wander. Think about different ways to approach problems. I often find there are higher priority things to do than whatever I thought I was going to code up next.
- b4c0n 14y agoHmm... This makes sense, but you are keeping 2 things on the top of your mind. You are either programming, or planning how best to approach the next step for your project/business plan. I can understand how time away from the keyboard would help with your situation. The main attitude that confuses me is the "You have to be definitely doing nothing of the sort, no programming, no business, no nothing. Disconnect and fuck off for a few weeks or months", and the people that pursue and desire that for themselves. You just sound like you put proper time and effort into the 2 areas that you conduct your business through :)
