Your IDE should help you with the argument order if that's an issue for you. It has never been a problem for me and I don't understand the argument. I get that it might be confusing the few first times you use these functions, but

There are extensions which allow you to redefine even constants.

Yup, that's even better.

I'm not a fan of the void argument syntax. Wouldn't something like the code below work? We already do it with `strict_types=1`. <?php declare(strict_args=1);

ADHD is a spectrum of traits. Which ones do you experience? I’ve learned to think of everything as a feature—not an advantage or disadvantage, but simply a characteristic. Some features are beneficial in certain situations, while others may

Interesting, I wonder if it's common for people who don't need much sleep. I need 5ish hours of sleep(usually less) and I feel that regular workouts (7 days a week, 60 min runs) help me clear brain fog a lot.

Do you work out? How often, how long and what type of exercises do you do?

You won't know until you try it. From your own description, you feel pressure when someone watches you, so the effect is present. Maybe all you need is a friendly environment. If body doubling with us isn't for you, you might try

Motivation is overrated [1]. If you've been searching for it for weeks or months without success, stop looking. Chances are, you won't find it. Even if you're super hyped about the end goal, the steps needed to reach it can b

For me, it's body doubling, but for you, it might be something completely different. The method that works for you depends on why and how you delay tasks (and you need to consider both separately). Once you understand your "why&qu

> Finishing, as in will power, focus, and vision, is like a muscle that you can take to the gym. That's not true, at least not for many procrastinators. I've been a procrastinator my whole life. It wasn’t until my mid-30s that

Adages are great, and they work for some people. They’re so simple and can provide just the right amount of motivation to get started. What’s interesting is that people respond to different adages, even when they’re quite similar. For examp

It absolutely can work for task initiation. It's less effective for maintaining momentum, but initiating a task is often all people need to resume being productive. I remember watching Rambo 2 (or maybe it was Rambo 3) as a young kid,

Unfortunately, this doesn't address the reason someone procrastinated in the first place.

Usually five-ish hours. These days, I spend a lot of time in Asana, replying to emails, etc. I wish I had the time to code more!

It was a stupid, stupid decision on WP's part. After reading it, the first thing I did was to make sure that I and all WP sites I have access to had automatic updates disabled. This always seemed like a good policy to me, as it is such

> I've been WFH since 2016 and I never had an issue with focus when doing paid work. I do want to get paid. YMMV. When I was freelancing, I charged by the hour. Working for 2-3 hours per day was just enough to keep me and the family

I would, and I don't use chatgpt as much as other people. I would pay for it for each of my employees.

Do you procrastinate because you’re unable to focus on work, or simply because you can? If it’s the latter, then it’s not really procrastination.

This should be a lesson for everyone. Code quality doesn't matter, language doesn't matter, it only matters if people want your product. If you would look at the code quality of the most successful WordPress plugins you would be..

This is not true. WordPress routes request in its own, admittedly shitty way, but it has a router. I don't remember where it is, but it exists. It parses rewrite rules and matches them against the request URI.

It depends on your startup's stage. If it doesn't exist yet (and based on your submissions, it doesn't), you can start after reading The Mom Test. You might also want to read The Lean Startup. However, you can read a dozen bo

We can think of several AI applications for WorkMode, but we don't want to implement them. In our case, the less AI, the better. AI, automatic data gathering, big data processing - no thanks, we'll skip it. What we do works; we do

The concept is the same, but the execution is different. As a rule of thumb, Focusmate may work well for light, occasional procrastinators, while WorkMode is tailored to the needs of lifelong procrastinators. I'm going to mention some

Thanks! For some, it's the only method that works (myself included). > How are you guys making money? I see you have a single-person tier for $3 an hour? Even so, that's crazy. Update: First of all, users are _not_ our product.

We're building WorkMode ( https://workmode.net/ ) - a body-doubling platform for extreme procrastinators. In a nutshell, we connect with our users via video call to ensure they stay focused on their tasks. These video ca

It's not yak shaving. Yak shaving is (possibly) recursive explosion of seemingly unrelated tasks which are required to complete the original task. The comment fits description of a maladaptive perfectionism.
