Programmer's Life Style

Energy and motivation are key factors that drives a person to code (at least me). When I am motivated,I spend all day and night working on a code and when motivation and energy is gone,I dont feel like even writing a small code. I do believe that life style affects our morale to work. I am interested in knowing learning what kind of life style people on SL have. It might help those who are stuck in a dead motivation spot.

Only advice for lost motivation - don't do monotonous tasks. Break it down into smaller tasks and make it more interesting. You can plan on Monday and Tuesday, make a blueprint/algorithm on Wednesday and code on rest of the days. Because coding takes lot of time. Just an example.

Downtime is as good as uptime. If your motivation isn't there then take a rest unless you're on deadline. Do something fun so that you can hit code harder when your motivation is up!

When we code, we expect ourselves to sit down in front of the computer for a long time. I guess it would be great if you we our "other time" to go outside and experience something else so that we won't miss out the real world. I usually code when I feel it, but a better habit would be to set a minimum number of hours for one week. Make sure that in every time you study, you learn a lot and you do not forget about it. My current routine usually goes: School, Socialize/Sports, Sleep, Code/Study. A mix between academic, socialization, and active lifestyle.

@ A Penguin. .Lifestyle really affects our morale to work. I personally Code just after waking up at 6 am till afternoon and at evening I gym and later at night I hang out with guys. Real fun gives me unshakeable motivation to code the next day. Try changing lifestyle may make you more motivated
