I’ve been doing this for longer than a year now: https://github.com/blackrabbit17

One thing that really helps me is “do nothing time”

When I sit down, it’s tempting to fire up a browser, or Spotify or YouTube or something, then spend time faffing about looking for a good song, no no no, this is really just me avoiding the work.

I sit down, resist that initial temptation and my mind calms, like a storm clearing, and then I let it calm and little more, and then I can start. That do nothing period is only 2-3 minutes but it allows me to slip into flow state quickly. I recommend to others to try…

Several years ago I was doing something that showed your consecutive-days streak. I lost mine at about 300 days because I flew to Europe and the time zone was calculated from the USA, and on the day of my flight I missed a (US timezone) day. I was so sad lol
