Ask HN: How to turn mindless browsing time into productive programming time?
17 by snazz | 5 comments on Hacker News.
I’m not a programmer by trade; it’s just a hobby for me. When I set out some time to sit down and write code, I spend most of it browsing the web to compare languages and libraries to make the project instead of actually working on the project. I usually get as far as a repository and a README, but after lots of thinking and mindless thumb-twiddling-web-browsing-time-wasting, I just shelve the project for another time and look for another idea that I’m convinced that I’ll be more passionate about. I see all these amazing side projects on HN that required months of self-directed, hard work. What’s everyone’s secret to staying focused on a personal side project and pushing it to completion?
