How do developers work under stress - after all, the head is dull - or just take a vacation and nothing else?

Question

Work organization

I'll ask you right away not to focus too much attention on how many questions I ask about the hardships of my life as a programmer.
I really was a shit coder for several years, I studied a bunch of different tools, but I was not interested in algorithms and architecture, and this is bad.
But I want to create serious projects (and projects come first, not salary), so I try to catch up.
And indeed sometimes there are successes in these fields.
But at any moment, something can arise that will greatly disturb me. Perhaps more than one day in a row. And it's at times like this that stress just hits my head. I only think about him. I start working slowly. It becomes difficult to look at the entity as a whole, with all the connections. Attention is also declining.
In addition, I am afraid that working in such a state can harm development. And it would be better to take a day off.
But resting on such days means not getting paid for them. And there is no one to support me.
I know only one solution - to train in algorithms and architecture, and then, probably, I will begin to experience stress better. But this is only in the future, but it is necessary now. And will it be in the future? Do you work under stress?

Answer 1

But I want to create serious projects

and who is stopping you from creating your own serious project, and not doing someone else's for a salary?

But at any moment, something can arise that will greatly disturb me.

it is fear based on your sense of self-importance. They say that someone else's opinion about your work is important.

I only think about him. I work slowly

it's like a multi-core processor, when several cores are occupied by viruses, the system as a whole starts to slow down. And viruses are your personal limiting beliefs. For example, "If I do not do what I promised on time, I will be considered a loser and may even be fired."

In addition, I am afraid that working in such a state can harm development.

so there are no resources for development, since this belief is added to others.

And there is no one to support me.

just like the only job on the planet?

I know only one solution - to train in algorithms and architecture,

and there will be stress that there is nowhere to apply this knowledge.

And will it be in the future?

- no, it will only get worse, as the mind of people begins to generalize and instead of "I will not be needed by this employer" it will become "I am not needed by everyone"

Do you work under stress?

Alcohol helps us. Week in hard drinking and again in the project. How many of these do you know?

Answer 2

1. Write out what worries you on a piece of paper.
2. Decide what to do about it.
3. Work on

Answer 3

But at any moment, something can arise that will greatly disturb me.

Think only about the project (work). Extra thoughts must go. Control the pace (graph).
