>a lot of noise or music going on.
Yay, someone else who gets destroyed by music. I thought I was the only one. I was told by a boss once upon a time to "put on earphones", but he didn't like the protective earwear I brought in (they were from home depot for using loud machines) and was unsympathetic to the fact music really makes me not do well at coding.
>This is the most valuable part of my day because it acts like a shutdown script for my mind.
You know what, I did not realize how the reading could actually be helping there. I like long series of works that are interconnected because they're typically much longer than even classics. The 1632 series is excellent and long, for that reason.
>Try to keep it to 8 hours per day.
Do you mean at least 8? At most 8? Exactly 8?
- jdlegg 17y agoI would say at most 8. I don't necessarily believe in working less than 8 hours per day has a particular benefit, but I don't really have evidence, even anecdotally, for that belief. 10 or 12 hour days are OK as one-offs, once-in-a-blue-moon (I mean that literally). But doing that for many days in a row has major negative impacts on my productivity and my general mood.
