How to overcome your laziness?

Question

Programming

I have many ideas that I would like to implement. But it often happens that it comes to opening an IDE, and it becomes too lazy to write code. It happens sometimes (very rarely) that I start writing code in the evening, and finish only in the morning, I was in the mood to quickly implement my idea, and everything worked out literally overnight. But this happens very rarely. I think many people have faced this problem. What do you do when an idea comes up. How do you design, and what do you generally do before writing code, or do you write code right away?...

Answer 1

I just start writing code right away without thinking about the result. I set myself up for work. Then, when it’s already going, it’s going to go and I enter the state of “flow”, I start working with the mind. I'm looking at what I've already written. If necessary, I rewrite and decide what to do next.
First you need to do something at all, then do it right, and then do it right.

Answer 2

I'll answer tomorrow.

Answer 3

I worked for a year with a minimum of days off, somewhere around 5 in total. I often didn’t sleep, but it happened for 2.5 days, there weren’t many results in monetary terms, they also threw it 1 time, and those from whom I definitely didn’t expect.
Now I work gritting my teeth and not only with laziness, but even with hatred, I study the same way.
Moral:
1. Whatever was laziness, you need to take a break from work, but away from the computer.
2. To love your job, you need to work first of all with your head, and not rush into battle by writing out tons of code, even if it's of high quality. But your personal result does not depend on the number of lines, but on your personal action plan and desire (Point 1).
3. Customers will wait, do not rush into battle, first consider not only the work plan, but also a way out of situations in case the customer refuses to pay or pays part of the price.

Answer 4

If you are a lazy person, then no theories, books, notes will help. You have only one way - you need to be forced, period.
In the general case, the principles are as follows:
1. The stimulating effect on the performance of the action we need is always external (otherwise you would not have asked here). Those. you cannot consciously stimulate yourself, you need help.
2. find internal motivators in yourself - those that really make you do something (for example, you like to eat delicious food - you don't need to be forced to do it. Even if you are not hungry).
3. make a motivation converter. You must use something to convert the missing motivators, from those that you have in abundance, i.e. balance.
For example, you have taken on a difficult task for which you are "responsible with your head." Because of the fear of incurring responsibility for not doing the work, you mobilize and start working with greater intensity, the question of motivation is automatically removed.
The second example is to take a loan to pay off which you barely have enough current earnings. Because of the fear of losing collateral, you will automatically be motivated to work hard.
In all these examples, the fear of something is converted into the motivation you need - to work.
Of course, not all motivations can be converted.
Gradually, alternating periods of intense work and rest (if you take on a very overwhelming task, you can break down), you will get used to this regime, you will feel the fruits of your efforts, and this, in turn, will also motivate you. Get rid of laziness, but you can’t stop, you need to set the bar higher and higher. And so on until the end.

Answer 5

Yes, everyone is like that, but what can you do with what you don’t want?
nothing, wait when you want.
I noticed that when laziness, and you are trying to overcome it, it only stays longer.
ps// Or maybe laziness is hints from above: "it's not time yet, rest ..."

Answer 6

How many people so many ways to cope with laziness. Laziness is a broad concept. Under this word, there may be a desire to sleep, and hunger, and a lack of vitamins, and illness, and simply a lack of interest. It's important to find the cause. After some time, I realized that the programming process itself is not interesting to me. I'm more interested in understanding how technology works. I can be carried away by an interesting idea of ​​a program, an interesting task, but not by the process itself. And that means I'm doomed to be lazy. Now I’m thinking: is it worth becoming a programmer if you need to program for 8-10 hours every day?

Answer 7

Get ready for work. For example, I am too lazy to work for myself and implement my projects. And when someone else asks, then laziness passes. It is also important here that the work be interesting, otherwise the work will not be a joy, and this is again laziness and a desire to change activities to more interesting ones.

Answer 8

Take a mortgage, a loan for a car (you can also have a couple of consumer loans) and give birth to 3-4 children. Believe me, you will gladly throw yourself into any job and demand more projects from managers, preferably with overtime.

Answer 9

What for? Everything is fine, look back in ten years - and you have a bunch of projects not done (or done by others), movies watched, books read. So they didn’t go anywhere they wanted to .. youth flowed away somewhere, but they were too lazy to their heart’s content. A fairy tale, right?

Answer 10

For the success of the task you need to pronounce. Find yourself someone you can load.

Answer 11

It seems that you want the result of your work, and not its implementation (realization of goals). Enjoy the process. If it doesn't work, then maybe this is not your area.

Answer 12

Perhaps it will come in handy for someone - to understand from the inside such a thing as Laziness, which sooner or later will turn into Idleness - an even more insidious quagmire:
