Was seeing a lot of posts on other channels about self-motivation and work ethic. Mostly people wondering if they should stop trying or if discipline is something they should've built a long time ago and they just missed the chance.
I resonate a lot more with the latter, I've always assumed that discipline was something I should've built in my grade school days and that now it's too late to keep up.
Ironically, I have been procrastinating thinking about working and keeping up my discipline for a long time, it just made me uncomfortable.

But in the past month I have adopted a new method of working. It helped me to make a shift that drastically improved my consistency and motivation, and I wanna share it with you. This isn't advice, and this method doesn't have to work for you, you're free to tweak it and improve it and adopt it to your own unique circumstances.


Step 1. Have faith; a strong dogged belief that motivation is a thing that you build as you work not something you have from the onset.

Step 2. Accept that you procrastinate because of your emotions, because you simply don't feel like working. Accept that the opposite of that feeling is an emotion in and of itself—that opposite feeling is motivation.

Step 3. Get an exercise book

Step 4. Take a block of time, in my case it's 8 hours. Usually from 11:00 to 19:00 (5:00 AM Local Time to 1:00 PM Local Time)

Step 5. Decide how you will partition your time. Personally I work 40 minutes per hour for usually 8 hours... that amounts to 5.2 hours a day of solid work. In reality I work a lot less like 2 to 3 hours, not because I procrastinated but because the work is usually done in 3 to 4 sessions!

Step 6. Logging your work.

I will explain step 6 with a picture

At the top of the page I usually put the things I want to do, or not if it's just one thing.

Good evening gang. Where have I been you may ask... I know you are not asking this at all 💀

Have a productive week guys.

I managed to make a software that runs only on Windows 8-10 run perfectly on my Windows 11 PC. Long story short:
> Teacher gave us a cracked software for business analytics
> Won't let me install it because Windows is eternal pain
> hmmm.exe
> Do some shenanigans and exercise "black magic"
> Program now works on my PC
> wtf.wav
> Im_actually_a_genius.mp4

I think I may actually be him 🥀

Oh and I did all this without chatGPT or the internet because this issue DOESN'T EXIST OUTSIDE MY USE CASE. I PRAYED FOR TIMES LIKE THESE 😭😭

Next after CORS, Test Coverage will be the reason I quit being a developer 🥀

I think I just talked to a demented scammer.... what?💀

Dude deleted the chat, I swear it made me feel like this:

Good morning ladies and gents, have a good Tuesday 🫡

My insta algorithm has been on a generational run. Haven't laughed this much in ages😭 Brick by brick btw

Saw a dog give birth today

Literally in a coding block right now. I don't know what to build gang🥀

Coding content these days is so bland these days. So many of the newer ones use AI voice overs and over the top editing that they all essentially look the same.

Sadly I won't be able to make it💀 Although I registered super early. Sucks man

Re-designing an entire UI on the frontend has to be a war crime of some sorts. A Geneva convention offense

Running on hope and cope instead of caffeine ✌️🏾

Good Morning peeps, have a great and productive Wednesday! Get your bread up 😤

Word of the day: Serendipitous

Yeah I had a hard time mastering this word💀
